2017 CB1100 - Just some random wintertime thoughts

[ohiorider_imp]

Funny, I was looking at a 2017 at pretty much the same time. The salesman even moved some other bikes so that I could have a better look. It's gorgeous.

What is it about inline 4s that took you a while to get used to? Can you elaborate?

Thanks,

VLJ - re the squealing brakes on your CB ........ have you tried, for lack of a better term, "brake paste" or "brake grease?" I've used both the tacky paste and heavy brake grease on the backs of the pad backing plates, and squealing went away. My W650 sounded like a train coming into the station until I did the 'fix.' Apparently the noise is caused by high frequency vibration between the backs of the pads and the caliper pistons. Don't recall other specific bikes, but I've owned a couple where the squealing was eliminated this way.
