Hi, congrate on your cb1100, I am no expert but I would do the following....
1) My brake does the same with slight noise but no binding and spin freely. Just check your bike like others had advice.
2) Try feather squeeze the brake at that speed and see if the noise is louder, if yes, its the brake, if not, maybe wheel bearing, can check bearing and brake drag same method as others had advice.
3) More fuel saving on long cruise, more calf exercise on gear shift.
4) While you follow intuition, I follow my mood. Its either aggressive mood day or relax chilling mood day.
5) Maybe should check you chain if it is too loose. But I do get this "falter" feeling when cruising at extreme slow speed like around 20mph while holding the throttle dead lock steady. its like skip a beat but in very short period.
6) Most probably just not accustomed to the clutch feel yet. CB1100 low end torque is actually quite good where you can even slowly release the clutch in idle, without opening the throttle and the bike will start rolling away.
