I rode a CB1000R all year round for 4 years and had no issues with no TC and I ride quite aggressive with the power at times. (It did have ABS though)
I loved the bike. It made it hard to choose what to move on to as the torque was such great fun.
It's very nimble and agile. but obviously it's not great for high speeds on motorways, so bare that in mind.
As my insurance jumped so much when I moved to the KTM, I asked why and got told the CB was only group 3 (or maybe 4) so shouldn't be too expensive. I came down under £300... in London.
