Nice reaction update, VLJ. I have only 160 some miles on my '17. Between my '14 and the '17, I had a Street Twin for a couple of months. I thought I would enjoy a lighter bike...I did--in the garage. What I didn't care for was the Twin's lack of heft on at speeds of 65 plus with cross / head winds. Back on the CB1100...I can appreciate its sure footing.
To compare squeak notes...my front brake groaned loud the very first time...then, as you have described elsewhere, when braking lightly coming to a stop...but mine is only so slight, and doesn't happen often. Seems that when I try to make it happen, it won't.
I too enjoy the post ride "warm down" checking it out as I hang up mc gear. It's a beautiful machine at speed and on the stand.
