"The CB1100 is beautiful and has me just on the looks, particularly the black of the 2014 standard. I'm concerned though that I might want the thrill of the CB1000R. How much can the 1100 deliver in terms of fun acceleration and quick, nimble cornering?"
I don't understand your dilemma. It's an apples to oranges comparison. The CB1000R is just ugly. If your going for looks, then there is no dilemma. If your going for performance, The CB1100 has all the power you need to kill yourself or lose your license. However, If your still concerned about thrill, fun acceleration, and quick and nimble cornering and you don't feel the CB1100 brings enough, why play around? Just buy a plastic wrapped CBR1000RR and be done with it. The CB1000R is just too much of a compromise..like an El Camino SS.
