Thanks for everyone's advice. I did test ride the CB1100 about a week ago but the test ride was too short to gain my complete confidence. I found it is smooth in top gear at about 70MPH but had some buzzy spots here and there. By the way, it is true that scientists can be picky. I chose the bikes I own because I am hyper sensitive to vibration in my right arm/hand, probably from 50 years of riding bikes that vibrate. I have a Gold Wing, a '73 Ducati 750GT and a Tuono V4 in my garage. I recently sold a 2007 VFR800. All are smoother than the CB1100 and none put my hands to sleep like a few other bikes I have owned. Yes, I am a bit anal. I have made a few mistakes before - buying bikes that I quickly disliked for one reason or another, so I ask the advice of others who own the bikes I am interested in. There is a lot I like about the Cb1100 - nice seat, beautiful paint, air-cooled, simple, etcetera. Again, thanks for everyone's advice.
