It's a nice bike. She hasn't been riding it as much as she used to ride her little Ninja 250R. I finally got it out of her a month or so ago that she just doesn't feel comfortable with the weight of the CB700SC. So, I think we will be selling it this spring. She really likes the feel of the new Kawasaki Versys. Since it's such a new model, we will probably wait until they start showing up used before buying her one.

That's a long ride from Florida to Colorado, but I'll be mulling that over.  |

nice bike. you should get her to ride it. that will give her time to get use to it.after having fun on my 450 or 750 it takes awile to get the feel for the goldwing and lets not talk about weight

Wow, that looks like a prime example of a 700S.

Very nice. My son (10 years old) likes your blue one better than my red one. In his own words: "Ohhh, that's sweet!"  |

I love the Versys. I'm saving up now to pick up one next year (hopefully). I'll be picking up one used as well. Until then, I'll be riding the hell out of my 700s. |

If I hadn't spent 5 years on an SV650, I doubt I'd be comfortable with the height/weight of a Nighthawk, so I understand her predicament.
