(wish I'd kept the 750) Then went to a NC700. Liked the NC...until the CB1100 came along. It reminds me of the Nighthawks in feel, sound, performance, etc. The 1100 is like coming home again!
Were the stock pipes on the NH750 as quiet as the CB1100? My NH750 had Vance & Hines already on when I got her, that's one thing I do miss. It wasn't obnoxiously loud, but they had a good sound.
My daughter would run to the window whenever she heard me coming home, not anymore with the CB11.
I'd like to keep the CB11 stock, I don't want to loose gas mileage by replacing the pipes. If slip ons become available, I might consider it..

Had it 6 years and put 22,000 trouble free miles on ( along with 65,000 miles on 5 other motorcycles in the garage). It needed more power and better brakes which the CB 11 has, which is why I sold one and bought the other. Loved the hydraulic lifters and wish the 11 had them, but the Japanese are steadfast in their belief that the shim style is a better valve adj arrangement. By all measures the CB 1100 is a much better motorcycle.

Nice bike indeed!!!
thanks for sharing the pic
Riding the NH750, the only time I scraped peg was going down Palomar over here in So Cal. The road had a good turn with a decline and I scraped just a bit.
I am not a knee dragger, but I love to ride a nice twisty road.
On the CB1100 however, I am not as comfortable leaning the bike as I was on the NH. With the "feelers" on these pegs I have scraped peg about 4 or 5 times now but it is only on those turns with that steady incline or decline where I am not even leaning the bike that much (I still have some chicken strips left), even scraped part of the exhaust right underneath the bike where the 4 pipes go into one.
Anybody else...fear leaning too much?
