Guth I am also one of the early members and thank you very much for you starting this forum . However I am some what of a decenter on the
bikes looks.
Very early on I think I posted why I bought my 2013 . I had just retired and wanted a retirement bike after closing my motorcycle acc.
shop. My plan was to find a very used BMW sport touring bike. Sport touring bikes have always been my fav. . I had a PC800 ,a Wing , and about 2 or 3 bikes before I retired I bought a ST1100 which turned out
to be a bit much for me because of its weight.
I guess we all age at different rates. I know when I say this it will upset some people but is the way I feel. I am sure I have said on here on the
past when I was in the industry I used to make fun "retro" bikes.
I always said can't the Mfg. come up with something new?
I do like the way my bike looks but it was not the main reason I bought it. It was the right weight ,size and had the right ergos . and if
I sold a bike and a car I could afford to get it and retire and live on SS.
Don't get me wrong I do like UJMs , for sure I had many back in the 80s. Their looks never thrilled me.
I still like to ride my CB1100 and will remain my main ride till I have stop but its looks is not my main reason for owning it.
Sorry if this upsets any one.
