The W800 would be a very good decision. I know what I'm writing about.

I bought my “last motorcycle” in 1999, a new Ninja ZX 9R when I was 57 years old. Kept it until 2018 when I was 76 years old. Along the way I owned a Monster 1100, sold it, and bought my 2013 CB 1100 2 years ago. The Duc was my first and last non Japanese bike, for reasons known to all Duc owners. Funny how Ducati and Triumph are the journalists favorites now, even though Japanese brands beat them soundly on road racing tracks, as well as on maintenance and reliability. But then, everybody should buy and ride the bike they like. Most of the reason I’m on the CB 1100 is nostalgia, it reminds of the CB 750 I used and abused 40 years ago. If we were rational we wouldn’t ride motorcycles. I was one of the first So Cal club racers to get an AMA Expert RR license for Superbikes. Motorcycles are still part of my life, not rational, especially at my age.
I do miss the power and handling of the Ninja, that’s why a used Ninja 1000 or GSX S1000F is appealing to me. I haven’t bought a new bike since 1999.
Thank you for this report. Just that last sentence strikes me. And, with all due respect I disagree (and I think you do yourself). We are rational by all means. Here is why. Psychologists know that people who take all risks by all means die fast, that people who take no risks go insane even faster, and that reasonable people take risks to avoid the other two outcomes. Personally I think it's wonderful to imagine that at age 76 you walked into that Honda dealer outlet and paid for your CB. Safe rides, always !

When I first saw the CB1100 I knew this was the bike I would be getting for two up local and longer one up rides in my area.
If it was never produced I would have wen vintage 5500 to 750 CBs.
At this time there is not another new bike that interests me. I stopped buying the cycle mags and stuck with the Vintage Bike Mags.
So glad Honda made this one just do not understand how it did not become a big seller.

Next to the CB11 I really LOVE my Moto Guzzi Griso. What a wonderful bike, both for looks and character. It is just perfect.
If I had a LOT of money I would want to own a Yamaha Niken GT. I know it looks really weird but it rides like a dream.
I still have to test ride it one day, but I have liked the look of the BMW R9T since it first came out. I lost the count of all the different R9T variants that exist nowadays, but I guess they all ride very nicely.
And lately (and belatedly) I fell in love with the looks of the (by now almost ancient) Yamaha MT-01. Old school but futuristic at the same time. Pity Yamaha stopped making them but I guess it was just an experiment.
And for the quick shopping trips and occasional logging-road adventures, I've also put a Zero FX on my wish list. It is the silence that attracts me to the electric bikes. Never tried an electric bike yet, but that must be such a wonderful experience. (disclosure: since 2 years we own a Tesla Model 3, and my wife & I still fight every day on who can drive it today. Again: it is the quiet, silky-smooth ride that I love a LOT)
