Rode wife's CB ... want one of my own, now. But ergos?
#1



Hi there.

New to the forum.

I made the mistake of riding my wife's 2017 CB 1100.

Holy Moly.

I've owned 45 motorcycles over the years, several brands. Cruisers, sport bikes, touring bikes. The CB is a jewel. Even the way the key turns feels like a mechanical work of art. That motor! I must be partial to heavy flywheels because I can't get enough of the decelerations on that engine! I love that it has a Rain mode (below 3500 RPM) and a Dynamic mode (4500 to 8500 RPM), with a little vibration from 3500-4500 RPM to let you know you're changing modes.

Anyway, I kinda want one, now. Problem is, the seat doesn't support my 225 lbs, and the pegs feel kinda up and forward for my 6-foot frame. So, I have a couple of questions for you guys who have been riding them a while ...

1. Would the Corbin seat, which sits me more upright, address the odd position of my legs, or would I need to move the pegs back a bit.

2. If I move the pegs back, it looks like my feet will hit the exhaust. They already do when I get on my toes. Any other options to fix the awkward leg position. Or would I just get used to it?

3. Finally, does the darned thing come in other colors? I'm guessing Missus Wife would get a little torqued if I got the same bike, so perhaps a different color would ease the pain. Dunno. Opinions?

Thanks for your help.
