Need advice on CB1100RS

[Guth_imp]

W/R I can tell you that if Honda were ever to release a CB1100 that I find more appealing than my 2013 model I'm fairly confident that I would "trade-up". While I've never been on the motorcycle merry-go-round and I'm definitely not a motorcycle serial buyer, I'm also not the best when it comes to money management (thank goodness my wife tends to keep that side of things in check). So I do mean it when I say this. But for me Honda hit it out of the park the first time around, and has to build a more appealing follow-up CB1100. But there are obviously others who feel just the opposite. If this is how the CB1100 RS strikes you then I'd say go for it. If it doesn't feel like a no-brainer (i.e. the heart wants it badly enough that nothing else matters), then ask yourself if you're only interested in the RS for the novelty of the purchase. After all, some folks here are sure to be envious of your ownership of a RS. If you feel that your CB1100 isn't sporty enough for you and the bike's handling doesn't meet your needs, then the CB1100 RS might make sense from the perspective of the left-side of the brain. On the other hand, it's still a CB1100 so it certainly isn't going to set the world on fire in terms of performance.

I know that when the CB1100 was originally released here in the States, I sure wasn't going to wait around to find out what anyone else had to say about the bike and I certainly wasn't interested whether or not anyone thought that I should buy it — it was going to be mine no matter what. Plain and simple. That was a passionate, no-brainer purchase and I've yet to regret it. In my opinion, this is the feeling that you should be shooting for.
