The front brakes on the CB1100 are quite strong and will stop the wheel at low speed. I almost dropped mine when it was new pulling it into the garage coming home from a ride one time. The problem was the handlebars were turned sharply to the right and I was going very slow. When I squeezed the lever the wheel locked and the forward momentum kept my body going straight while the bike had stopped going to the right. I caught it before it fell but now I line up straighter before applying the front brake very hard.
