Thanks so much for the comments gentlemen. And thanks Norton for the sobering pragmatics. I am not a wrencher so there's that. I am planning/dreaming of heading to the west coast early next summer on a grand bucket list trip, solo. I will travel the road of my youth when I hitchiked to Tofino B.C. and spent a summer on the road. This is one of the reasons why I have been considering a new ride. The CB1100 has already proven itself to be reiiable and I have every confidence that it would be up to the task. To be more physically comfortable on another bike that is unproven Vs the peace of mind of riding a bike you can trust. Not to mention that a good dealer network would add to that peace of mind on such a journey.
