I think if you have not we should all read about the engineering that has gone into our bikes. It has made me appreciate the bike more than I already did. Its a good read here's the link.

I don't recall ever reading this much about one model of motorcycle. They certainly are proud of their creation...and I'm proud to own one.
Imada:
The CB1100 looks like a bike that doesn't care much about precision, but in reality, it's built upon layer after layer of high-precision components and techniques.
In fact, there were many instances we were told some aspects were 'impossible to build' within normal manufacturing tolerances, and we had difficulties solving all those problems. A well-built bike is often founded, in part at least, on the fine balancing of a few key components.
Thanks for the link mgoodie!
