Is the CB1100 no more?

Hi all. Just picking up on everyone's comments since yesterday. I tried both the V7 iii and then a V9. As others have commented they are actually very nice bikes to ride, handle well, light, decent brakes and comfort. No, they weren't fast but were fast enough to get a nice flow on. Apart from the fact the CB's are stunning and soon to be unavailable the main 2 reasons for trading the Guzzi were that the dealer network isn't great here AND they have an overdue service indicator on the dash that the dealer has to turn off. Can't do it yourself. I enjoy home servicing and part of the long term charm and bonding with your bike is obviously discouraged. 1st service includes tappet check ( on cold engine) So with no option other than get it dealer serviced I was going to have to ride the bike there, leave it, take a demo bike away and come back home. Then return the following day or day after to swap over, get mine back, and then drive home. Each would be a good 5 hour round trip, down motorways! Just too much faff.
