Making these bikes fast

[AzBob_imp]

I believe I've mentioned previously (in other threads) that for me, the CB1100 is a little slow, but you have to realize that it's also horsing around my 220+lbs frame. I rode my CBR1000RR to work the other day just to make sure it still runs, and wow, I realized all the things i love/hate about both bikes:

CBR
---
So fast, you can kill yourself before you realize what's even happening.
Unbelievably uncomfortable for anyone with more than three decades under their belt.
Silky smooth transmission.
Nearly vibration-free engine at all RPM's.

CB
---
A bit slow, it'll still beat just about any car other than sports cars 0-60 though.
_WAY_ more comfortable to ride, not stretched out like you're on the rack.
Transmission is a bit notchy and clutchless upshifts can be unpredictable
Engine vibrates like crazy at anything > 4500rpm, buzzing everything, including the seat and pegs. Fortunately, you're doing 70mph at 4000 rpm in fifth gear, so the buzz is mostly transient.
The sound of the stock exhaust under full throttle is quite nice.

Overall, due to the ergos, I like my CB much better than my CBR. However, the horsepower thing is a problem for me, as well as the lack of wind protection (I do have a Dart screen on mine), so I will be getting something else and trading the CBR since I basically hate riding that thing any more. The CB will be retired/passed on to the wife.
