Not fast enough for you?

[redbirds_imp]

The not being that quick is part of this bike's charm -- the whole riding a slow bike fast vs a fast bike slow thing... I find it alot more entertaining to wind the guts out of this thing, throw it around and hear it sing than just putting wheelie control on level 4 and keeping the throttle pinned till reaching impound speed in second gear. I seem to get the slow comment from a lot of younger sport bike riders, but it seems that most guys who are really into bikes (not saying the two groups are mutually exclusive) seem to appreciate it for what it is.

Yeh, sort of how I feel about it. It's not, by far, the most exciting bike I've ridden but I haven't liked one more.

Cheers

Well said fellows. In nearly 50 years of riding the CB1100 is the best bike I've ever had. Strange that my favorite before the CB came along was a BMW R75/5, a bike with a very similar character.
