first ride on the CB - canyonwlf7_imp - 02-09-2015
It's very nice, handles really well, very comfy, I think I will add on the staintune slip-on, this bike feels corked up, either that or it is somewhat de-tuned, only did 10 miles but I'm happy with it, didn't do a test ride!

If the last pic is your garage, how about some blurbs about your other rides. I see a Bonnie; not sure about the others.

Once broke in, giving it the berries will open your eyes. Get the rpms up and she has some anger inside that wants to come out. Not quite like my Griso, but it's there.

I love my Staintune, but to be honest the biggest gains are aural, visual and loss of weight. There might be some performance gain — I'd say that throttle response is improved. If you're looking for much more than that , you might be somewhat disappointed. Not trying to be a downer on the Staintune, but they're not cheap and if an increase in performance is your main priority, I'm guessing that there are better ways to invest your money.

Power Commander V will help uncork your CB1100 a bit... but the CB1100 will never be a rocket, it's not meant to be one.
R E L A X, and enjoy the ride, aaaaaaaaah.

First ride threads always make me smile because I remember the day I rode my CB home and being impressed at how smooth and civil the bike is.
Congrats on the new ride

I remember the first ride well.... I was actually laughing and giddy because the mirrors actually worked! I could see everything in sharp detail... I had gotten use to riding Harleys where the mirrors were pretty much Rorschach ink blot tests and the smoothness of the CB blew me away.
