I am in exactly the same situation as you: my (black-with-racing-checkers) 2016 CB1100A with 6000 km was delivered a week or so ago, and I have made only a few trips since then. I completely agree with your findings: it's a keeper for sure.

While a gear indicator is new for me as well, one (very minor) thing I miss is a temperature indicator. I am so used having that on my current and previous bikes. It doesn't make riding better or worse but I always find it interesting to know how hot or cold it is. Anyway - really minor nitpicking. I will look around on Ebay for a thermometer!

And I am almost glad that I will soon need to replace my Bridgestones for something more solid!

Keep us posted on any creative solution to improve the visibility of the turn signal indicators on the instrument panel. I agree that they are not well visible, especially when the sun is shining on the dash.

bioman: Agreed, and more so.

I share your views on the directional indicators.. my fix was installing a beeper .. it works pretty cool.. it beeps when the directional is on, but is silenced when you use either brake .. like waiting for a light to change.. then when to take off from the light and release the brake, the beeper will start to sound again, reminding you to turn off the directional..when the beeper is silenced, the directional is still working.. you can buy it as a kit for about $15. if I remember.. the beeper is pretty loud, but I found installing it on the handlebar worked the best for me..

coming from a goldwing, I dressed my little CB to accommodate my wants and needs.. I don't know if you are a naked guy or need more stuff.. this pic shows how I fixed mine up.. if this stuff is to your liking, just let me know and I will explain what did in more detail..

I bought some of that double sided tape Honda uses, thinking I would dig into that display, then decided not to go there.. I'm not that happy with Honda's display.. it's not bright enough for my old eyes..
