I am sorry to hear that your health problems forces you to rethink riding motorcycles.
Giving up the things in life you love is like giving up on life itself.
However going to a smaller and lighter bike and driving less often and smaller distances might give you some more years of riding.
I still have very good health but due to sudden bathroom stops I do not ride more than 150 miles per trip and that is ok with me , done all the rallies and longer rides when I was young.
Never look in the rearview mirror , you are not going in that direction.
If the CB 1100 becomes to heavy for me I hope to continue with a smaller bike .
One of our buddies sold his sportster and now rides a trike at 82 and loves coming out with us.
I am certain that you had a great time riding your bikes and I tell my friends : "do not live a life of regrets "
Good Luck with your health as health is wealth !
