Buying 2014 CB1100 and have questions
#23
One of the things that always made the CB my favorite motorcycle was how smooth and effective it is OUTSIDE the power band. So you can kinda hum along smoothly in high gear or let it drop to 600 rpms in a corner and it won't even lug. And when you feel like having fun you can can roll up to 5k and party, and it will also do that with perfection.

I can't say the same for my triumph. It has stonking torque but still demands you ride it "correctly". The CB doesn't care at all. The satisfaction derive from the triumph is seeing how close I can get to how it wants to be ridden.
