The word is generally accepted to mean a combination of "function" and "sparkle", hence, farkle.
Motorcycle enthusiasts may install accessories, called farkles (also spelled farkel), to customize their machine.
The term is well known in the sport touring community.
An enthusiast may be in the process of "farkling". The completed motorcycle would be all "farkled up". Radar detectors, Global Positioning System receivers, heated grips, and satellite radios are some of those farkles. Other accessories could be aftermarket seats, side and/or top cases or bar risers, which make the motorcycle more suitable for long miles.

Personally I like very much the 4-into-one pipes coming out
of a Retro- style In-line four engine.I think it matches up like
ham & eggs.And since having a personal opinion appears to be
the in-thing for most all Bikers, then so be it.
I guess one could decide they just have to have Rinehart
dual bagger style exhaust for the CB 1100.
But that's about as practical as Humpty Dumpty deciding
to challenge Evel Knievel to an arm wrestling match in hospital.
Let's Bee 4 Real.

of the wheels or how low it sits,the seat or the fenders.Like what Harley types
obsess over.I purchase a Motorcyle because of the MOTOR.That engine.
First and foremost.Which is why I find Harley's such a manifest joke.
You got basically one engine and about a dozen models.That is pure dopiness.
I think a motorcyles styling is important but not key.How the bike performs
and especially the hallmark engine is what concerns me.I didn't come to this
conclusion over night either.Having spent 10 years looking at Clone cruisers
that had all different kinds of bells and whistles but basically one type engine,
or the pushrod S & S plant.The clone market was very picky about everything but
what counts.Likes how they handle and brake and the reliability of the engine.
I realize that S & S make good race engines.But they are old school.
Trading-in a 2013 model for a 2014 model is kinda stupid.Because yer
going to take a huge hit on depreciation and there really is no difference worth
a hil of beans between the 2 models.This CB does not need a 6th gear because it is not
an Interstate bike.This bike,actually is crap for Interstate use.It is way too light
and narrow.In fact it is not safe for Interstate use.
It is an around town and boulevard hoot.Really interesting on back roads
and country highway.it is perfect for quick trips and fast getaway.
But no way in hell would it make a touring bike.Just like most clone
cruisers.It is what it is.A very flexible and easy to use all around motorcycle
that has plenty of pep,really handles well and is about the easiest bike to
flip around and shift in it's weight class.
I am not trying to get banned
I am just a nobody here but I read a lot
This opinion from mr foolardi is just that an opinion
And in my opinion it is pure utter bullcrap
Any bike in your garage ANY BIKE can be an "interstate" bike
This is just wrong that somebody will read this crap and think it is a fact
which it isn't

Great, there goes my across the USA trip I was gonna take after bagging up the CB and fitting some farkles to it for the long haul. Too bad. I would have liked to. Guess I'll need a whole other bike for that. Hey, what about a CB1100ex in white? That 6th gear will fix the whole thing eh?
I'll take nimble and torque over heavy and slow.

Love my CB. Great on the street, the canyons and on the interstate. Have a fun time riding all, and Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey, one model bike, can't be good for everything, it's give and take. A Goldwing is terrific for interstate, but not so good on twisties, or back country roads, etc. A Big Harley is good for interstate travel. Not my cup of tea. I would much rather ride a CB1100 on the interstate, now and then, with a bit of compromise. I guess it's whatever you like. I hate riding on the interstate anyway. If I was planning on riding 80% or more on the interstate, I would probably buy something else. However, I plan on riding less than 20% on the interstate, so the CB1100 is for me.
