Yes, I'm pretty excited. My VIN was confirmed today.
75 on May 1. Love this bike, takes me back to my 54 BSA Rocket.
I am 62 at the moment but used to be much younger years ago !
49 here but I've never thought about the number that much; so much to learn and too much good stuff happening in the here and now to worry about that which I cannot alter!
I'm 28. My love for bikes started with a 2001 Ducati 748. That thing was sweet to look at...but murder to ride. Took it to the track one day (Jennings) & swore I would never ride another sport bike on the road. That poor Ducati didn't even wake up driving on Florida's boring roads.
Since then I moved on to a 2009 CBR600RR for a track bike. Much cheaper to buy & maintain than a Ducati.
I've always pined after another street bike, but never found one quite right. I wanted one that I could commute on, but wasn't a cruiser. That my wife could ride on, but wasn't a touring model. Something sporty, but comfortable to ride 6+ if I needed to. Basically, I wanted a UJM of yester year. I even considered going the long way & buying a classic & restoring it.
Then Honda answered my prayers. The CB11 is perfect. I commute daily on it. My wife loves to ride with me & is comfortable doing so. We even took it this past weekend to visit her family in Knoxville, TN. 9 hours of pure fun. On the way back we[/align] managed to run Deal's Gap. What a blast on this bike!
Needless to say, I found the perfect bike for me. A jack of all trades, a daily joy. Even if my friends & family never get "it", I do.
I'm 51...came very close to buying a Triumph Scrambler, but when I saw the CB1100 was coming to the U.S. I plopped down my deposit and began the countdown !

There we go... we have an official badass
60. Didn't someone say 60 is the new 50?
36 here... i feel young in this crowd.
21 here. Traded in my 2011 cbr600rr for this bike. I was tired of being uncomfortable! And can I say HIGH Insurance! This bike really suits my everyday riding needs.
