Is the CB1100 no more?

[the Ferret]

That Griso looks awesome... I wanted to ride one when I was buying the CB but there aren't many around. A comparo write up against the CB would be interesting.
In regards to HP, it depends where you are riding, back when I had the 500 we were living rural, small roads with lots of tight corners, a bit of gravel, no highways. For sure the 1100 doesn't go great on gravel, but it is less fun on even the small sealed roads than the 500 was I rekon.
We moved, still rural, some corners, but a 25km stretch of expressway that I travel to work and back on. The 1100 is far better suited and could use a few more HP at times.
We don't really have the long distance highway riding here like in the US, most rides you have to chuck her around a few corners to get where your going.
I have found the 1100 has mellowed out my riding a bit, makes me feel like a gentleman riding her .

Here is my test report after riding a Griso
