The power of the first ride on a CB1100. A friend's son was looking to buy his first bike. Had become enthralled with the retro look of the CB1100 and found a used 2014 for sale at a local dealer. He didn't have his motorcycle endorsement yet, so he couldn't test drive it. I told him I'd do that for him.
*Full disclosure--I've always thought the CB1100 was awesome and was excited to finally get to ride one**
I wasn't 100 yards out of the dealer and 2 thoughts came to mind. 1) too much bike for a first bike and 2) I must have one.
2 days later, I'm riding a 2017 EX with 1700 miles home from a different dealer in Dallas.
Powerful bike, this one. In many ways.
