We often get caught up with spec sheets, power-to-weight ratios, hp, number of cylinders, blah blah blah. To me, what's most important is how the bike makes us feel, however we choose to define that. Good on you, kvdv. Looks like a blast!
Exactly! This is totally why I ended up with the CB1100. Ideally, buying a motorcycle should be fueled by the emotions the bike brings out in you.
kvdv, if you're even halfway as excited about the Speedmaster as I was about the CB1100 when it first came out, then I'm predicting great things for you and this bike.

Call me shallow, but except for dedicated purpose machines (dirt/track/even ADV) looks matter most to me. It's the single biggest attraction for the CB, and outweighs most of the perceived performance demerits. I'm not a cruiser guy, but the Speedmaster really is a beautiful bike. I believe the forward controls can be swapped for the Bobber's mid controls, which would make it far more appealing to me.
