Design Disadvantages of the CB1100

OK I'm pretty late coming to this discussion but here is my input. I looked at a lot of bikes before choosing the CB1100. What I liked about the bike was the retro look (which reminds me more of the 80's than 70's). I wanted a simple design that I could easily modify and customize to my liking. I definitely wanted an I 4 1100 (I love the sound of an I 4) and the fact that it was air cooled made it even better. It has all the power that I need and actually gets a good number of compliments. I would have liked to see a little more horsepower, hydraulic valves, more fuel capacity and maybe even a shaft drive but I am really happy with this bike and look forward to riding it every day.
