When I returned to motorcycling in 1992 after 34 years away from the sport, I seriously looked at a Zephyr and almost did the deal, but settled for a Honda Hawk NT650.
It was the right decision at the time since the Hawk was smaller, lighter and had good performance for a returning rider.
I had that bike for ten years and rode it all over the east coast of Canada and New England.
It was replaced by a CB900F (919 in the US), and is a great bike, but it didn't have the certain "something" that the Hawk did.
With the CB1100 that certain "something" is back
