This discussion brings to mind my 1976 CB750F which was only about 20 pounds lighter...so, I do not consider the CB1100 particularly heavy...about the same as both Sportsters and just a tad more than the Bonneville.
Heavier than a sportbike, but not really that heavy.
Continuing the yesteryear comparison, the CB750F (736cc) was rated
67 HP @ 8,000 RPM, 44 ft lbs @ 7,000 RPM
and the CB1100 (1140cc) is
86 HP @ 7,500 RPM, 66 ft lbs @ 5,700
Right now, there is no other street M/C that I would prefer.
