Even if the CB1100X had a lower seat height, there's still the height of the rear seat and tail most of us have to contend with.Very much agree with the high rear seat and tail on so many bikes, much harder for us older guys to swing a leg over, and for what? Give me a flat seat or rear section to bungy stuff on. Can't remember the last time I carried a passenger.
Maybe the low, flat seats on CB1100 and Triumph Bonnevilles are part of their appeal. They certainly are welcome to me.

That's an easy 600+ pounds. I wouldn't look forward to valve adjustments either. Maybe that's why they're leftover 2016-2017 models discounted $6000-$7000.
I have a friend who loves his, and he loves it for the power.

You'd probably have to mount it using the left riding peg, that is, step on, up and elegantly swing your log over. Easy peasy, ... Bob's yer uncle. Kinda like mounting an ADV bike.
