Riding Motor Since 1950
Mully,
That was a **** good objective well written review.
Pretty much mirrors my own after spending an afternoon on my friends CT mounted on a motor identical to mine. Cornering with the CT was much harder to initiate; but, once into the corner it was better than I expected. Not hard to maintain the radius and it did not flop as I thought it might. Changing lean angle, especially when tightening the radius, did NOT inspire confidence in me. I did not feel comfortable taking the bike into nearly as deep a lean as I was accustomed to. At the suggestion of my friend, I played with the air pressure (34 to 28 pounds). Remarkable how much difference that made - so much so, it made me wary about the whole concept of running way lower air pressure than recommended. I also did not care for the squishy feel of the flexing sidewall when on lower air pressure.
I will say that CT was a hoot for doing burnouts! It had a great squealing squawk like RED fox getting its balls slammed in a beaver trap.
