Been pondering this and with regards to modifying the CB 1100
some people are interested in the CB for it's heritage, and history, it's link to the past and to the bike that changed the world. How important it's development was to Honda, how hard the engineers worked and the problems they overcame to bring a modern air cooled 4 cylinder that passed all the stringent environmental tests, how they sweated the details over design, wheel sizes, paint, engine charachter, overall imagery and sound...
.... and some people are only interested in it, because it was a large displacement motorcycle they could buy rather cheaply.
I think serious modification of the CB 1100 is something less appealing to the first group, but maybe not to the second group.
