I never paid newer bikes all that much attention until my Hawk started to show its age under the wear and tear of daily commuting. There is a group of folks out there who have long been hoping for a modern interpretation of the Hawk GT from Honda. If they were to do such a thing, and do it right, I would surely find it tempting. But the CB1100 won me over, both the concept model and the production model — it won't be going anywhere. Still, I can certainly understand how it wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea.
It will be interesting to see if Honda does a standard/naked type bike built around their V4 engine here in the near future. That would be very interesting. I'm just glad that I'm so happy with my CB (It would be kind of silly to start up a forum dedicated to a bike that you're not passionate about). Everyone should be as thrilled with their bike of choice as I am with the CB1100. I'll keep a curious eye on future models from all manufacturers in general and Honda's in particular, but it's just a bit less exciting when I already own two of the bikes that I desired long before ending up with each.
