Chris, How did you find out about Sintered Cylinder sleeves on the CB1100? The only other person that mentioned sintered sleeves on the CB is the late Kevin Ash. The combustion chamber design on the cb1100 is a pentroof design which is a step forward. Also, the casting on the outside cylinder head has passage ways to make sure all cylinders are cooled down.
I always thought if the engine is aircooled the block would be a closed deck design but the CB1100 is an open deck, there must be a reason behind this.
I really like the simplicity of this aircooled engine. I just installed Samco Hoses on my street triple R with 50K miles and it was a cuss to get to most of the hoses....
I bought the bike because it spoke to me and I didnt even bother to go into detail on how this bike was made... Just total attraction.
The only down side to me personally is the speed govern.
