Yes, my Vulcan is opposite of my CB, while riding my girl on the Vulcan when I went to cancel the signal I hit the horn, there was a hot chick standing on the corner.... guess what that seemed like.... :-)

Same here, the horn/turn signal is opposite from my V-Strom. Several times I went to hit the horn already and cancelled my blinkers instead. I figured it was a minor annoyance limited to just me, but I guess others are seeing the same thing.
I got into the habit, when scanning traffic ahead, to rest my thumb on the horn button. Especially when I see someone I just know is going to pull out, pull over, or otherwise intrude on my lane. That way I can give a quick beep-beep while moving to avoid them.
It's a little more difficult on the CB1100, the button is positioned so that it's more of a stretch to ride with my thumb resting over the horn button. Guess I'll get used to it.
I've grown fond of the traditional BMW switchgear (push left button to turn left, push right button to turn right). It's intuitive if you think about it -- your thumb movements mimic the counter steering pressure on the grips. My K1200RS has this setup, as did my ex-'07 F800ST. But my '13 F800GT (which is arguably the "same bike" as the F800ST) has a left thumb switch, similar to the CB (though with the horn on the bottom). Just hopping between the two F-bikes was confusing enough!
They are also reversed from the Nighthawk 750 and the CB700SC. It threw me for a loop for sure. Although I think the blinkers are in a more intuitive place and much easier to get to, I often times find my thumb searching for the horn button while riding the CB1100.
