My playground is about an hour away. I could shave 10 minutes off that time if I wanted to use 4-lane highways at 120 KPH (75 MPH) to get there. But those roads are busy, boring, and patrolled. I would also have to deal the wind blast and noise which would make the ride uncomfortable and fatiguing.
I ride for strictly for pleasure, so the back roads are what I use. The roads are quieter, more challenging, and scenic. The ride is more comfortable, pleasing, and less tiring.
Sometimes I like to ride enthusiastically through the twisties, sometimes I just like to cruise and enjoy the scenery. So the CB1100 is perfect for me. Yes she is plump and top heavy. But I like the retro looks, audible exhaust note, smooth and strong motor.
