Average CB1100 Rider Age - Deftquiver_imp - 05-03-2013
So I know honda expected this bike to be bought by the guys who wanted to re-experience the CB750's of their youth, but I'm curious how old the people who actually bought the bike are... I'm probably the youngster of the group at 29.

I don't own one yet, but I'm 53- right in their target demographic.

Lol, so it looks like I'm either the only youngster who likes this bike... or the only one who could afford one... I guess I've always been a bit of an oddball.
But I don't mind reaping the benefits of owning a bike targeted to the older crowd... The insurance on the CB compared to the naked bikes marketed to my age group is about half the price.

Nah, I'm 27 and this to me was the best bike possible, if a little spendy. I don't really care what the target demographic is, I just love this bike

My son loves the CB11 as well at 36YO. He grew up in a motorcycle riding family.
