"harder to turn it at lower speeds, wants to stand up at higher cornering speeds (compared to the Standard or EX with 18" wheels)."
Ulvetanna, you are right on this. It takes more effort to make the bike turn at low speed.
Yep, wide seventeens are very different. But almost all bikes have them now. I like the 18" front/17" rear combination on my Street Cup, with moderately wide tires.
So, the CB1000R now has 143 HP...and weighs only 466 lbs wet. We can see who Honda is going after with that one.
Yep it is an old man's bike for sure...but...

the suspension from the 17models are better (stronger) specaly from the RS .....
the saddle from the 17 EX has some littel littel other form..and somehow littel littel more harder.....
the saddle surface material from the RS is not that slippery like the EXs an 5mm higher
i drove the RS only 20-30 Min....in the first minutes was the RS geometry/ handling very strange compared to the EX....
our CB is a low rpm torque bike like a big chopper V2 .... finsih and over .... and absolutly not a sportbike like the actual ones.......for any peoples suggest the CB (RS) just a sportbike and they expect the performance just from actual sportbike......not wonder if they are disappointed..... thats it....

I have one riding buddy who still owns a 2013, former racer of "classic" superbikes, and he LOVES his CB1100, and even more loves to catch out guys who think that CB1100 is ONLY an old man's bike.
