I hate carbs. Bad enough to maintain on my single cyl dirtbikes-
I bought a ZRX1200 in 2012, rode it home from the seller on the highway, no problem. Took it out for the next ride and a few miles in- it spit, sputtered and died. Sucked some cuss up in a carb. Managed to get it started and home but I parked it and haven't touched it since. No joke.
Bought the CB1100 almost 2 years ago now. Not a problem. The ZRX is pretty to look at though.
I have not owned many bikes...
78 kawasaki kle250
77 yamaha sx650
81 yamaha sx650
04 sportster
07 klr650 (still own)
13 honda cgl125
All the above with carbs, zero issues...nada.
I was fully expecting similar reliability with my 14 cb1100 std, but traded it in because of idle issue in large part
Now, I'll give it another go with my 17 cb1100 ex...if it develops an idle issue, I'll stick to something I can figure out, like a DR650 to replace my KLR650 if it every dies ...and then I'll ride it till one us can't go anymore.

If the ride is bad enough, you deserve some compensation.

I'm with you. This CB is the first fuelie I've ever owned. Never had a problem with any of the others with carbs. If it does (on my dirt bikes) pull it off, clean it, put it back. Easy. I don't want to have to hook up a laptop to my bikes.
All that being said, I've never had a problem with a fuel injected bike either!
RE: Reliability - Houtman_imp - 03-13-2018
Single carb bikes are easier to deal with than some the bikes I owned : CBX's , VF 1000 R's and other 3 or four carb bikes.
On my carb bikes I always used Blue Stabil in the winter months
