RE: Took a test ride - cbdtran_imp - 09-03-2013
Cb1100 is turbine smooth up to 5K RPM, then a bit vibration, and smooth again above 5.7K RPM. At all speed, the rear view mirrors are rock solid, sharp back view. I had a chance to ride the BMW R1200R prior to purchase of this bike, all fuzzy mirror at all speed and the ride is mushroom even it is lighter. Different bikes for different engines.

It wasn't what I was expecting, I love the way it looks, and it is a Honda which is always a good thing.
I was disappointed in the power and it was kind of buzzy, hadn't rode an inline 4 for about 35 years so I wasn't sure what to expect, but coming off a BMW R1150R it is way way different.
I still want to like the bike though!
Do you get used to the vibes when it hits about 4500 rpm and above[/b]?
does it smooth out with age?
Just curious, because I REALLY like the look of the bike.
