Light is relative with those Chi

They are super easy to ride and balance even at low speed but it's not a light bike if it starts tipping with ya! It is a sweet ride

You could just get a 650R, basically the same bike though it is the "sport" look and a lower seat hight. They're fun, and they really are light, and nimble.
It's funny reading through this thread. I'm bored with my cruiser because I have pushed mine to it's limits, with suspension upgrades, raised forwards etc to gain all the ground clearance I could. I found myself running a road with lots of fast sweepers a couple summers ago at the absolute limit of the bike, dragging everything up to the hard points and realized I had no room for error at that point. I was looking under a Suburban going past in a right hander and when I got to the end of the road it hit me I was running stupid fast especially on my VTX. Now I want an FZ1 so I'll have a comfortable riding postion with as much sport handling as I'll need and a big enough bike for long rides. I'll miss the comfort of my VTX but I want something sporty again!!
