Well m in sc, having only owned two street bikes I suppose that I've missed out on owning all kinds of wonderful motorcycles, lol. But I don't really tend to look at it that way as I've got a family and all kinds of other interests in addition to motorcycling that consume my time and money. Sure, there are definitely a few other bikes that I would like to own, but I doubt I will.
The important thing is that you had an interest in the Sport Classic and went on to own one. Regardless of how I view the bike, I think that story is pretty cool. There are all kinds of bikes that I'm not all that amped up about, but I can appreciate the fact that there are others who are. At the end of any given day, if we both managed to have gone for a ride at some point or another then that's one thing that you and I have in common that I don't have in common with the majority of other people in the world. I feel like that realization is one of the things that makes this forum great.
I suppose my opinions regarding the Sport Classic as well as those of some of the others here really aren't incredibly surprising considering that this is the CB1100 forum as you've noted. I have no doubt that many others would consider the Sport Classic to be a superior motorcycle. I just don't happen to think that it's better for me personally. The same would apply to any number of amazing motorcycles that are out there.
By the way, I likely missed it elsewhere as I've been a bit out of commission this year, but what vintage bikes do you own (or have owned)?
