Is the CB1100 no more?

[Dave Swanson]

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 .

Your comment on the rough fueling is spot on. I winced when you compared it to a Harley, but have to agree with you. The factory map is not tolerable, and keeps many prospective buyers from taking the leap to buy one.

Luckily there has been a small group of very dedicated Aussies working tireless to provide improved maps for the Griso and other 1200 8 valve engines. The map couldn't be easier to install, and transforms the engine into a turbine smooth wonder!! For $100 the Griso is transformed to a sublime state.

You owe yourself a ride on a properly sorted Griso. When I bought mine I didn't ride it once until the map was installed. I had the map purchased, cables, and laptop ready in the garage when I brought it home!
