Not enough to be really noticeable,so I vote no.Get a pair of motorcycle gloves,they should absorb any minor vibes to the hands.As far as the other vibration goes you're on your own.Good luck with that.

actually you cant say yes OR no...
there has been an article about the development of the CB1100 published after the EX model came out, and there you could read that around 4000RPM they wanted to give it a slight V-twin character.
And effectively, you can feel vibrations through the handlebar at around 4000rpm to around 4500rpm.
Below and above that, its smooth as silk.
EDIT:
for that small band of 500 rpm you feel vibrations, even less, I voted "No, my Deluxe doesn't vibrate"
(actually its an Ex)

And then I know why I love my CB1100 and and K75.
I just experienced the same situation past week, twice.
First a young guy riding a blacked out Street Glide, I looked at him and I saw that engine shake like crazy at idle....
Than I looked at him and began to exaggerate and imitate him sitting all shaken up on his bike while saying, lots of vibrations huh
He laughed and I laughed and we both minded our own business.
Afterwards I saw a couple on another blacked out Street Glide.
It was actually the first time I noticed how much a Harley twin shakes...its almost extreme to see.
My dad has a XV1900/Stratoliner.

But I can't remember that V twin shake that much in idle.
And its no smooth free ride either.

I'm arriving late to this party, but thought I would jump in anyway.
The Canadian CB is neither a standard or a deluxe. It has a 4 into 1 exhaust but also many deluxe features in electronics, ABS, etc., so I didn't cast a vote.
All bikes vibrate, but my CB vibrates so little that I don't even think about it. It's of no concern to me at all.
My butt gives out long before there is any concern about vibration
My answer is a weak yes, but a strong no.
I just ride it and enjoy.

it does vibrate, I can tell it is running that way. Try to enjoy it. I would keep checking the tach, to see if it is on, if it did not. The wheels also turn when I am going down the road. I can use the mirrors at any speed, I think they are amazing bikes, no complaints here. I just wish they had wire wheels and 4 into 4 exhaust stock.

Yes but it gets noticeably better when I shut off the engine.

There is some vibration but hardly noticeable and not at all irritating. Actually a pretty smooth mill for an in-line four.

No. Can you say BMW K100?

hmm, a BMW inline 4 to enforce your argument...now is that engine the rule or the execption to the rule?
I always thought: More cylinders, more smoothness...
RE: Does your CB1100 vibrate? - Django - 07-19-2016
Try a K75 3-cylinder to see what a really smooth engine is. Great sound, too.
