How to make the CB1100rs perform better

[misterprofessionality]

small advice: it seems like the bulk of your experience is on leaned back western bikes. this is more standard and thus more of a euro seating position. if your wrists are hurting, it's because you may be leaning forward and putting weight on your arms. your body should be held up by your lower back, gripping the tank with your legs, leaving your arms loose and free with less weight on them. you would only shift your weight forward like that when dipping into turns.
