Is the CB1100 no more?

[the Ferret]

Guth, I don't personally think HP/weight ratio means much to the average person, but rather the overall experience the HP/torque provides. Our CB 1100's are a prime example. Not the best hp/weight ratio, but a very pleasing ride none the less. If hp to weight was such a determining factor none of us would have bought CB 1100s.

I have a CB500X I acquired thru family last year. I don't ride it much. i don't enjoy riding it. I rode it yesterday because it had been a month since I rode it last. Still felt like a under powered dog and you had to constantly row thru the gearbox to get anywhere. Some people like that. I don't. 46 HP, 30 ft lbs torque 432 pounds and to me it is nothing but work to ride. Not enjoyable at all. Some people find them exciting fun little bikes. Find the hp and torque fine. Find the light weight nice. I just don't.
