In Defense of the CB1100

[Northrider_imp]

Nicely written observations and opinions. I really like the look of the RS but believe it has strayed significantly from the classic lines that attracted me to the '14 std. To my eye, it has joined the likes of the RnineT, another bike that I admire greatly, but not one I find to be classically beautiful. I find the '10 to '14 CB1100 to have timeless design while it seems the RS has become just another muscular naked bike; albeit an attractive one. I'm confident that I'd love riding the RS as much as I love riding my '14 std, but when the novelty wore off, I'd enjoy looking at the '14 more.

I'm 100% with you...
