I enjoy the CB1100 as it is more planted due to it's weight, It's a fine looking bike also but I do wish it had a little more grunt.
I didn't.
My ride back in 1965 - 1967 was a twin. a BSA Spitfire Scrambler.
My question is ..... much as I like how the CB1100 is able to get down the road, am I permanently addictedly to the way twins make power?
I find it hard to fall in love with the way 4 cylinder UJMs make power.
Never had a CB750 as I didn't really start biking till 81 and then it was 250cc's, had 3 GS 550's and a Z750 four but none were as iconic as the CB750. The bike I always wanted back in the eighties though was a GS750, never got one.
