Excellent city bike

I've had this bike for 7 months now. This is the perfect city bike. Easy to handle due to its low center of gravity. Very fast off the line due to it's low end torque.



The seat is very comfortable, and low enough that you can put your feet flat on the ground when you stop.



The CTX is very fue...l efficient (65mpg). The auto transmission is great when you're in stop and go traffic or when you're in an area with a lot of traffic lights. You can also shift on your own if you like.

All in all, a very practical yet fun bike. Read Full Review

Laid back torpedo

Bought my 2014 manual Trans CTX700 last May and am thrilled to have a bike that is truly comfortable all day! Regardless of what Burns and others may write, it is a great bike and lots of fun!! I previously owned a CB550, then an FZ750, then a V45 Sabre, then a Bandit 1200S (now for sale), a CF Moto... V4 and an M90. The light weight reminds me most of my CB550, and the low center of gravity allows it to handle nearly as agressively as the Bandit....if you ride as though you want to keep your license. Sure, it could use more power, but it will keep up surprisingly well with my brother's VTX1800. The clutch has good feel and a very light pull, which is great in heavy traffic. On top of all that even with the optional hard saddlebags and 270 lbs on board I regularly get over 65 mpg!!!! Seriously! And those hard saddlebags are fantastic, like quick detach suitcases....though they are not shaped to hold even a 3/4 helmet.

The CTX700 is the perfect bike for commuting or cross country trips and everything in between. There really isn't a bad part to this bike. Potholes...no problem....rain...no problem....traffic...no problem...curves...bring it on! Track days...could be done, but pegs will drag. Take on that 1200 Sportster at a red light...oh yeah!

Great Handling Bike

This review is for the CTX700N. I've owned this bike for two months and am still amazed every time I ride. This is my third bike and my favorite. Quiet cockpit, good acceleration, superb handling. I added a Puig windscreen to keep the air off my chest. Read Full Review
