My CB1100 is new with 80 miles on the clock. There is the normal sound of the fuel injectors pressurizing when I turn the key, before starting the engine. On 2 separate occasions now, that sound has been abnormal, much louder and higher pitched. It is not all the time, only twice so far.
It has me a bit concerned, because the chances are slim that the bike will make that sound when I want it to, in front of a factory trained Honda technician.
Other than that, the bike is surprisingly powerful and smooth. I was cruising at 55 mph, dropped it into 4th gear and pulled the throttle wide open. The CB1100 pulled hard and hit 80 mph in a few seconds. I just love the twin dials and the display! The candy glory red paint is deep, rich and mirror like.
I'd rather the side covers matched the tank, and red ones can be ordered on WEBIKE out of Japan. There is a good selection of deluxe OEM chrome fancy items you can add to the bike.
Have any of you seen the Corbin seats that can be ordered from Corbin? They are leather and are made for the CB1100.
