My CB replaces my '11 V7 Classic, one of my all-time favorite bikes. Gorgeous bike, handled great, and made enough power to be really fun in the mountains, but plagued by a terrible dealership network. I couldn't justify keeping it under those conditions.

Before the Guzzi, I scratched my retro itch with a '73 RD350. Nice conversation piece but inadequate if I wanted to leave town and actually ride somewhere.

And before the RD was my '70 CB750K0. Another great conversation piece, and another disappointment on the road.

For now, the CB1100 checks all the boxes!
