of the CB 1100 if it had been available?

Only available in Japan, only 300 made. Basically a fancy Nighthawk 750 with hydraulic valves, 75 hp, Freddie Spencer homage.

If there was no CB1100 and that was in the showroom, I would have bought it.
It would be the perfect bike for my son, I think, but I'd have still gone with the CB1100. Sure would be neat to have it in my garage to ride once in a while, though.
It's definitely sweet. I'd own one, but that said, I go through bikes and women rather rapidly. I guess I am easily bored Sad
close, but maybe not "as-is"
still would want >100HP
and < 450 lbs
and as popgun said, maybe if CB1100 was not in my mind....or right next to it.
That bike versus the CB1100EX? No contest.
As a local runabout? Maybe.
No. That colour scheme does not grab me by the short hairs; rather boring looking. Now the CB-1300 Super Bol D'OR, now you're talkin'!!

If there was no other choice I would certainly consider it, but the color scheme doesn't reach out and grab me either.
