How good?
I know I've said it before, but this Honda CB 1100 is just a pleasure to ride. Thought it on last night's ride, thought it again on tonight's ride. Matter of fact it pops up in my mind on just about every ride. Smooth, comfortable, handles well, brakes well, plus it has stunning looks. I am so glad Honda brought it over and I was able to get my '13 and then my '14 deluxe. Kinda wish now I had kept the 13, and added a '17 to the garage too now.
7 years, nearly 60,000 miles on 2 CB's, and it' still one of the, if not THE finest motorcycle I have ever owned. In a way, at this point in my life, it is all the motorcycle, and the only motorcycle that I really need.
Now, that doesnt mean I'm going to run out and sell the FJR. It's a great motorcycle as well, and one that I enjoy riding a whole lot. It's tall, and top heavy, but good night what a motor, plus it handles well, and brakes well too. I feel fortunate to be able to have each of them in the garage. Due to it's larger size, bigger motor, shaft drive, cruise control, electronic windshield, fairing, liquid cooling, built in hardbags etc it makes a dandy cross country machine, and if I were to head out to say the bad lands of South Dakota tomorrow, it's the bike that I would call on. Not that the CB couldn't do it, but the FJR would be the better tool for that job.
However, if for some reason I could have only one motorcycle in the garage, I do believe the CB would be staying where it is.
It's that good.
