I always thought my 2003 Nighthawk 750 was the ultimate motorcycle however my new CB1100 is incredible in comparison. In 40 degree weather today in Wisconsin on the last ride of the season (12/1) the 2003 Nighthawk 750 is doing its best but choking along in the cold weather with its old carbs. The new CB 1100 fires right up and is as smooth as silk in the cold weather with the awesome fuel injection. At 50 mph the Nighthawk 750 is turning at 3500 rpm in gear 5 while the new 1100 is sailing along in gear 5 at 2900 rpm. Unless you are on an interstate everyday, A 6th gear does not seem all that necessary on this new motorcycle.
Anyway I love them both but the new CB1100 is a true upgrade. (Others in my collection include a CL 450, CB 750 and Elite 150.)
