As has been said, performance isn't going to be impacted much by dropping the weight of the bike by 50 lbs. The bike has plenty of performance anyway for most, and for those looking to add horsepower (like Powerdubs) it sounds like it's as much of an intellectual stimulation thing as it is really wanting to make use of the extra horsepower (which in and of itself, is a great reason to do it...) The only place where the CB1100 feels big to me is either pushing it while standing or doing the Fred Flintstone thing. And that's mainly a seat-height / carries its weight high issue, not a weight issue per-se.
