Good luck on making a decision. It really seems that the only complaints about the bike are suspension and seat, and those concerns are completely subjective with some loving and some hating either. I did not hate either but decided to upgrade both. This is really one of the most versatile bikes that you could own or ride. And, it is a rider's bike...commuter to transcontinental. As a matter of fact, one of our members just returned from an around the world trip on the CT with no problems at all other than an air filter ( if I recall correctly) clogging but was due to environmental conditions. Parking lot u-turns take practice to develop muscle memory. Other than that, one of the easiest and most forgiving machines to ride on the road.
