Not sure you want to wait that long, but now that you bought a CB1100 I would ride her for a thousand kilometers. Her value doesn't change that way. What one likes and what one doesn't often depends on former experience, friends, and expectations - and of course what riding you do. My personal guess, after 20 hours you will like the sound, the feel and the performance of that engine. It may be worth a trial and all it takes is a little good will.
About geometry ? I am 6'5 (about 1,90) with long legs, and the geometry is just right for me. 10km, 100km, 3 hours on her and I feel just fine. It is a position which gives me great control, not a seat on a sofa. But every rider is different. I would certainly make (small) changes to the handle bars position, pegs and test various cushions before I sold a good bike.
Did you buy 2nd hand ?
