Hi guys, I’m a newbie to this forum, I live in South Wales and have been riding bikes since I was 16. Currently riding a Suzuki 650 VStrom but I am seriously considering a new CB1100EX.
Which kinda brings me to my first advice question, would it be wise to buy the said motorcycle without a test ride (due to lockdown restrictions in Wales) or should I wait? The biggest bike I’ve ridden was my Honda CBF1000 which I liked but it became problematic, so I part exchanged it for the Suzuki.
Any advice would be most welcome, and thanks for this great forum.
Cheers,
John

Just lost a good friend to a crash. I don't need condolences I just need you guys to stay safe. Ride within limits, head on a swivel, make it home.

Gone in 60's new avatar is so fitting. 2020 sucks.

I sold the Africa Twin four weeks ago then last Friday purchased a new CB1000R. More horsepower than I can say grace over, but otherwise it fits the bill. I drive to Petersburg West Virginia to buy it. The dealer has this younger dude to load the bike into the U-haul trailer. This same dude has me purchase a handlebar harness. He puts the harness on the handlebars and then runs the ratchet straps down the outside of the trailer. The hooks on the ratchet straps are hooked to the bottom of the trailer. On the way home I hit one of many bumps in the road and sure enough the bike falls over. The damage is done. I then use only the ratchet straps, and put them over the forks with the hooks inserted into the D-rings on the trailer floor. Then, the three hour drive home proceeds without incident.

I have finally put my bike back together after my accident. Put about 50 miles on it and have an issue. The bike tracks to the left when I let go of the handlebars. I have done the alignment procedures three times per Delboys you tube videos. Checked rear axle alignment also everything’s up to spec. I plan to take it to a dealership unless someone on this forum may have a tip I maybe missing.

Had my first ride on the CB 1100 yeaterday.

My first impressions were :
The bike is easy to ride
Engine great
Sounds beautiful
Brakes Good
Power adequate
Riding position seems ok need to do a longer ride before i make any changes

Suspension could do with some improvement although i'm yet to play around with the settings

Overall the bike is a typical Honda and im expecting that typical Honda reliability will follow

Harwich and Dovercourt today. Harwich is where the Mayflower departed with the Pilgrim Fathers Captained by Christopher Jones in 1620.

Just some experiments on Stock CB1100 lean Angle. From what I found, stock CB1100 maximum lean angle is almost equal to a scooter at 40-41 degree, before the foot peg start touching the road. Well, my weight might be a factor, but I believe it wouldn't be too much off even if i shred a few KGs. I remember watching some youtube video comparison between retro design bike and CB is the least sportier of the lots. I think most cruiser had about this lean angle as well. So maybe CB is meant to be cruiser competitor??
