    is the ctx700 really worth 7gs?

    This bike is built around dependability and gas mileage. I have averaged 85+ mpg over 9 tanks,and have had a low of 71.5 and a high of 124.6 mpg. The bike is comfortable , should be for passenger also , look at that wide soft seat. Low center of gravity makes easy slow moving, U-turns, and...

    What color do you think would look nice on the CTX700?

    Depends on where you live. Black looks great but in 80-120+ degrees, its a little hot! I go with the Kaw green - sweet color. The one I bought is white, good for the desert -JLC

    Seat removal tips?

    Should not be hard, just turn the key lift up on the rear of the seat and slide it back toward you to get it off. Maybe a quick spray of WD 40 in the lock , if there is moisture, or ice preventing it from turning or releasing. If not - see dealer. -JLC

    Seat comfort zone

    I mostly get tired of sitting after two hours or so. Time to stop for a walk around and some water. Never had a monkey look at my butt, but I'm sure it gets red after 6-8 hrs. of riding. Getting off and moving around a few minutes does the trick. JLC

    Why did you pick the CTX700?

    I purchased mine due to poor handeling of my Harley XL 1200L. I got the dreaded white color because that's what was on the floor and with my Hi-Vis jacket thought everyone woul think I was the fuz and slow down. They did ! Truckers look in their mirrors, cars are more careful. It works. I get...
