Probably old hat to the guys and gals who've been riding the CB1100 since 2013.
However, I'm one of those who purchased a new leftover 2014 in 2017, and am just beginning to enjoy the feel of this lovely machine.
As most of you know, I had issues with the stiffness of the OEM suspension. However, after considerable tweaking of the front fork (now with RaceTech valving and rear suspension by Ikon with lighter springs) I can enjoy the feel of the engine, with good torque throughout the rpm range, more than adequate brakes, light controls, and a chassis that handles far better and easier than I would have suspected.
Anyway, here's the link. Hopefully you haven't read it yet.
