Candy and Pearl - Scotty_imp - 03-07-2021
Recently I bought a stablemate for the CB, an 8th generation VFR. The pearl white paint hooked me and it has factory hard bags, color matched - all for an attractive price. The VFR only has 8,000mi as well. It's basically as new, like my CB.
At first I thought I might not end up riding the CB much. The fairing on the VFR is nice during these colder months, and it's so refined carving corners in this mountainous region I live in. Once on the nearby desert floor it seeks a comfortable cruising speed of 80mph. With its big tank it eats up the miles quickly. It's a Honda, so it's beautifully built and has impeccable manners.
But today was warm and I took Candy, the 2013 CB1100, out for run in the Anza Borrego desert. I found myself slowing up to 65 or less, just enjoying the scenery. At times I was running 55mph on the open road just loafing along. I had no desire to speed up. I wanted to prolong the ride.
I love the CB1100.

Two lovely bikes, Scotty.

Beautiful Scott. How can one not go for a solid CB1100 ride on a day like that?
RE: Candy and Pearl - the Ferret - 03-07-2021
NICE!

I understand exactly what Scotty is saying. I too own a 2014 CB1100 Deluxe, and two VFR800s (1998 and 2002), and I often ride the exact same roads Scotty does. The VFR just wants to be ridden at a quicker pace, and the CB1100 just feels better at a more relaxed pace. Both rides are fun. Scotty will like the VFR fairing not only for keeping the cold air off you, but blocking the wind during those 80 mph rides.

"Candy and Pearl"
Whoa.
"Is this for real? Did mickey and Cormanus suddenly have a change of heart and decide to ease up a bit on the rules here? Is this seriously going to be a story about a pair of exotic dancers?"
