I will definitely agree that the motor itself didn't exhibit any of the "bad design" issues like the ones this thread is aimed at.
So my comments on the CBX's other qualities are really out of place; like my daughter says, "my bad".
That said, i still hated it.
I've been pissing off CBX owners regularly for years, looks like i'm still good at it.
LOL , no you aren't .
It's all cool.
Takes slightly more to p'ss me off.
Just giving the bike the credit
that it wasn't because it was a 'badly designed engine'
that you had troubles with the bike.
