Making these bikes fast

[skimhitz_imp]

I find it really funny how people call this a slow bike, or a more relaxed ride. A geezer bike? Oh my god, maybe for some but not others. The CB1100 is a throwback to the CB750 of the 70's, which was the first bike ever dubbed a "superbike".

I'll be honest, I like ride my CB1100 for all its worth. Hard pulls, redline shifts, dropping gears just because it sounds amazing. I've been riding for a decade, and the CB1100's acceleration still scares me on occasion. I came from a GS500 and heck I'd make that thing go too, bit it never had the same twist-and-go at any RPM.

Maybe people's perspective changes since there are so many faster bikes out there, but when I'm riding, I think back to how to my dad, this was a superbike then, and to me, it still is now.
