honest opinions: lowering a CB1100

[JLEECB]

I’m worried about the longevity of that motor, same as the Ducati scrambler. I drove Thai built motors for many years in south east Asia. They don’t have the build quality of the Japanese built engines despite the Honda stamp in the metal.

I went up to my local shop today and checked out the 500 Rebel. It indeed has a very low seat height, and is very narrow in the waist. I think it has the same motor as the CB 500X which is a smooth, eagar and willing motor, great on the backroads and adequate on the freeway. She could do worse.
