The CB1100 Community Forum

Hello everyone. I use my cb1100 as a commuter to work. I travel about 350 miles each week. 35 miles one way. I check the air in the tires every week and check and oil the chain and check engine oil weekly. I usually wash the bike about every 2 weeks. To anyone considering the purchase of this bike as a commuter, it works well for that purpose. I usually get 38 miles per gallon as I ride fairly agressively. I have rode below 3000 rpms with a passenger for a full tank of gas and got 45 miles to the gallon. I know a lot of you get 50+ miles per gallon. Do you get that mileage at a very relaxed pace. I travel a lot of country roads to and from work, constantly keeping an eye out for deer. The more I ride this bike, the more I like it. I can pass slow moving cars on those curvy backroads where there is very little passing room in a matter of seconds, instead of being stuck behind them for miles. When I ride in strong winds, you can barely feel it. The bike also handles short interstate runs with ease, keeping up with traffic does not even put a strain on the 5 speed transmission.
Just washed after 2 weeks of riding.

Great looking bike! I see your a smart guy! You left it stock and you ride it. That's really the best thing to do with a honda

Fred.. bike looks good. Glad you are liking it.

I'm retired so no more commuting for me.

I got 52 MPG on my last tank and yes I ride fairly easily. I mostly ride in the country, very few stop signs or stop lights 45-60 mph. Not a lot of shifting, not a lot of braking, not a lot of gassing, just rolling off the throttle for a curve and rolling it back on to pull me thru and out. the other side.

I was getting 47 mpg now after. 500 miles I'm at 640 miles I'm getting 52 mpg. Got better after. 500 miles.

Same here Ridem 48 before 52 after.

Ferret if you read this I keep trying to post plcs from this samsung tablet and it keeps saying file is to large, can you explain to me how to shrink the file?

Nope..I have no idea. I use a photo hosting site call photobucket, but I am sure one of these new age pups will come along and get you straightened out
