Whenever I talk with friends about the CB1100, people say that the bike looks nostalgic but that Honda may have engineered the soul out of it. The implication being that its character approaches utilitarian, almost sterile.

I've ridden a 2013 CB1100 for a day in 2014, and last fall ferret was kind enough to let me ride his DLX for a few miles. Honestly I don't have enough of a lasting mental impression to say whether or not the bike imparted any kind of riding character. I mainly remember it felt weighty and solid, except for some wiggle on rough surfaces when cornering.

Thoughts?
