CB1100 good for Touring?!

[the Ferret]

150,000 kms....wow that's 93,000 miles. He's a rider for sure!

Looks like he had a broken spoke or two. I can't read German..any other issues?

Looks like he uses Metzler Z8's and EBC pads.

You could change the sprocket to get lower gearing, change the suspension for more travel, get spoke wheels and tires with more aggressive tread, retrofit some kind of higher exhaust to run along the side, and put a bash plate on the bottom of the cradle. Then you'd have a really cool scrambler! It would still be heavy, though. And pretty expensive for all those mods. Might as well just by a scrambler.

I have never ridden a "scrambler" so forgive me if this is a stupid question but how do you not burn your leg on the exhaust

Heat guards on the exhaust
