Inline 4cyl vibration

[rjk555_imp]

Thanks to everyone for their comments about CB1100 vibration. My test ride was only about 10 miles and too short for a real evaluation. I did find the engine smooth at about 70mph. A lot smoother than the Ninja 1000 I also took a test ride on. Perhaps a touch smoother than the FZ-1 which is a nice bike if not for the stepped seat. FZ-1's get crappy reviews but I think they are nice bikes if not for my dislike of the seat.

The CB1100 seat felt comfy for me but I am comparing to a Tuono V4 "comfort" seat that is about 1/2inch thick and hard as a rock. I am a big guy (6'1"" and 250lbs) and hate the bikes with 2 piece, stepped seats. They don't give my big butt enough room to slide backwards.

Thanks again for all the good advice.
