The had a left over for 9899.00 which was a great value for a lot of bike. The seat height which is a big part of my buying decision was not bad at all at 32.3 it felt a bit lower with its tight frame and seat. I did get that warm fuzzy feeling and felt it was something i could own. The CB and 1000 are two different bikes for sure, it depends on your ridding style. The 1000 with its optional side bags would be a good choice for highway travel. The CB would be good for the Sunday back-road ride enjoying the scenery.
I was able to take the Ninja 1000 for a decent test ride yesterday. The Ninja felt great, effortless acceleration, freakishly smooth for an inline 4 (IMO), great handling and really nice ride even on the freeway. Also, very comfortable!
It's been frustrating finding a dealer that allows rides on the CB1100, and despite all the great reviews (and the bike is gorgeous) I find it almost impossible to spend that much money on something that I can't at least spend 20-30 minutes on. Seeing as I live in SoCal you'd think this would be do-able...
There are a few members in the So. Cal area, you might want to throw out a thread and maybe one of them would be kind enough to let you take it around the block.
