I get what you mean. It's nice to have a bike that starts when you press the button, goes and doesn't break and stops when you hit the brakes. After eyeballing my bike Honda made this bike to RIDE. Basically an 80s bike with the latest fuel injection and built to have character. Fins protruding more and a slight retarded timing to simply have that "ping" when the bike is hot. I love it.
For a heavy bike to today's standards the bike is surprisingly QUICK!!!
Compared to a nice Euro bike like a Guzzi ( I own 2) I will admit the cb1100 is a little boring. But the CB1100 I know will start and go at any time. In that case this "boring" is AWESOME.
I also own a Valkyrie. Which is great. But it's also a 2 wheeled car and can bre tough in say California traffic or on surface streets. Not the case of the CB. The bike just goes and pulls effortlessly to the point it's deceiving. No vibration.
The CB1100 is a bike you have to "get it" to love it. And I for one like you all "get it."
