One of my favorites is the 1995 to 2003 Honda Magna (750cc) Four cylinder water cooled. Major power, perfect fit for me and I've owned three of them over the years. Bought a new one in 1999 and it was the best running of the three I've owned. Sold the last one after buying the CB1100 because well ???? I don't know seemed like the thing to do.
Some times the perfect bike is too perfect. Does that make any sense? A fellow needs a little drama and if they are perfect you seem to be missing something.
I believe the water cooled 4 like what is on the Magna is a better engine then the engine on the CB1100. Both good and it might be splitting hairs but if Honda ever re-introduced the Magna I would certainly be a buyer. I'd want a better styled bike with fuel injection and better brakes maybe but that engine is a sweet and very reliable power plant.
By the way love that BMW R100S. I've owned Bmw's and they've been a bit of a love hate deal. Expensive and quirky but I keep coming back. They are like old Porsche automobiles. The German's what can you say.
