Most older bikes have been dropped or had something happen that tweaked the alignment. The CB350 is perfectly aligned and it handles very nice on the tires it has on it now which are close to the originals that were good enough to ride on when they were 40 years old, even with the ORIGINAL fork seals.
I understand what you are saying about the Ninja, got a little agressive on it today but nothing close to it's limits. Either bike would be fine for the cornering I do which is not close to either bikes limits.
I check alignment with a string wrapped around the rear tire and the front tire. With the trailing arm properly aligned and the handlebars centered you can see if the front wheel is properly aligned. If not loosen the triple trees and twist the front wheel into alignemnt, then tighten the triple trees and check your work.
Newer frome designs are certainly stronger than old tech, but watch some of those old bikes in the hands of a pro and they certainly could handle superbly, expecially when they had modern tech tires.
About 130 miles, still showing half a tank. I'll probably fill it up Friday and get another MPG reading with just over 200 on this tank.
