This is not what I had in mind at all. I would like to use a friendly, loving nick name which other CB1100 owners like, many of them know and use in the forum. Whether the Kawa owner or TicToc kid has heard this name before or not appears quite irrelevant to me.

To me, it’s a motorbike, one I happen to love. If people see it when I’m riding it and ask what it is I will tell them it’s a CB1100. If people are chatting to me and I’m not with my bike and actually ask if I ride a motorcycle, I will tell them I ride a Honda CB1100 Four cylinder retro styled motorbike. The CB range of Honda motorcycles goes back a long way. I first ride a CB250 back in 1970 having traded in my CD175. I like the lineage. I don’t want some catchy generic name for the range personally, I call mine Ruby, because that’s what the colour reminds me of and I like calling her that, but that’s a personal thing. Sorry, but I don’t share your need for anything else.
