I agree with you except I think I would prefer the cbx-remake to stay air-cooled.

I would prefer that also but with today's emission regulations it would be an engineering impossibility I think. Keeping the CB1100 air cooled required that the motor run in a mild state of tune. Sandwiching two more cylinders into the in-line mix would require water cooling. A water cooled motor would be little or no wider than the CB1100. The "new" CBX could also be tuned for high output while meeting emission standards. Sadly, air cooled motors are on their way out.

Which is exactly why I love our CB1100. Sort of the last of it's kind.
