I find the other bike comparisons with the CB to provide the most information. Comparing the CB1100 with the Honda 919 (2006) and Suzuki SV650 (2000), the CB "[url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1032&highlight=clunk]clunks" in the lower gears more than the others. The 919 has the smoothest gearbox of the three and has no clank or clunk. Perhaps it's mileage - the CB is under a 1000 miles; the other bikes are in the 5000 mile range and broken in more. Perhaps its the CB's chain; will check and report after my next maintenance.
