Well, I guess I have the best of both worlds. I ride a 1974 CB750K4 all stock with the 4 into 4 pipes and in contrast a 2013 CB1100. I really enjoy riding both bikes. Similar engine architecture and both motors have that linear engine feel. You can feel the 40 years of technology in both engine design and braking efficiency. Riding one makes you appreciate the other and on the 750 you just have to plan ahead when using the brakes. Also, that single overhead cam motor on the 750 has such a distinctive exhaust note. For those of us who've been around 750's, you just know.
I'm still impressed with the Honda engineering of these two models. The benchmark of an in-line four will be around for decades to come.
