To try to reduce the desirability of a motorcycle or car to a single number is not only impossible but faintly ridiculous.
As the master of the faintly ridiculous I am inclined to agree with this statement.

You didn’t hear it from me (as it would be faintly ridiculous for me to mention it), but there is a strong possibility of a pop quiz later in the week.
Since we are throwing numbers and weight around, some would argue weight reduction by way of RLET elimination would be factually faintly ridiculous.

I was going to argue with this, then I realised I'm the master of the completely ridiculous. Except ... except ... when redbirds and peterbaron are talking about RLETs.

Actually, no. Reports of people carrying out, or even contemplating, something as heinous as RLET Elimination are passed along directly to the Department Of The Completely Ridiculous where I happen to know the head honcho.
The Head Honcho has posted more in the last week or so than he has since he founded this board
What's up with that?
Good to have him back isn't it popgun?
Another issues is, once you own a CB-1100, take care of it, the bike will last a long time. There are only so many buyers, look at the Harley sales troubles.
