I think that's one reason why journo types dislike it or poo poo it. They seem duty bound to be dragging pegs and hammering around looking to expose limitations, then slagging the bike off. I have never tried to wheelie any bike of mine and have no interest in trying either.

I can not agree more with your statement , the CB 1100 is the perfect bike for me riding at this stage of my life. Smelling the fresh air when I ride the BRP is like nothing else on earth.

It's a ride, not a race.

'14 CB1100 STD 5 speed

Yeah, there's a track for that.
