Good all right, but how about that great, great gearbox? I just love shifting gears on my CB-1100!!! And it being a Honda, it is very easy to work on too. Oh" how about the great handing!! It is very good also. And smooth too!! What else do you want? God Bless...

Fits me too... but then I also own a Harley... just not for the reason that one might think.

While I certainly wasn't looking to be part of an image, I definitely wanted a bike that fit my image of what a motorcycle should look like. The rest of the description mentioned by the OP seemingly fits though.

100% agreement with this
I like 736cc`s comment " in the 70's which is the golden age of motorcycling. A motorcycle was a starting point for modifying the exhaust, seat, handlebars, paint and fairing etc. to make your machine unique and personal. That's my idea of fun. And go sport-touring." which is when and how I was introduced to the pleasures that only a motorcycle can bring.
A robust naked bike, low enough to through my short leg over, I fell in love with 2010 when I first laid eyes on it.
It fits my image. (age, comfort, torque, value for money..........
Pretty close for me. I wanted honda quality and a bike that could do almost anything. In town, touring (with some slight modifications), and fast enough. Reasonable seat height and ABS helps. I love streetfighter/cafe styling so I might be trying to fit into a subculture just a bit. Above all, I'm darn proud to be an owner of my bike and hope to have it a very very long time.

"The target owner for a bike such as the CB1100 isn't a guy who is looking to be a part of an image; he is a rider who genuinely wants a quality motorcycle. He isn't concerned with trying to fit into a subculture of motorcycle people or join a club. He is a rider who made the decision to buy a bike based on reason; he wants something comfortable, fast and reasonably priced, and without doubt, the CB1100 hits all those marks."

i bought the CB11 because of its beauty first and foremost. being a honda, I knew it would be good.
I bought a bonnie t100, but I was seriously considering this at the time.
Next year if they bring the 6 speed 4-into-2 exhaust and spoked rims, I'll add it to my garage right next to its older brother, a '75 SOHC cb750k5
Why am I riding these and not liquid cooled sports/naked bikes like people my age (22) tend to? I'm a sucker for simplicity, reliability, and ease of maintenance!
