Human nature is what it is I suppose.
As far as the biases or preferences are concerned, I do try to always be careful to state they I refer to things such as the design of the CB1100 from the standpoint of "my preference", "to my eye" or "my opinion", etc. as we all like what we like. Every CB1100 is a thing of beauty to me at a certain level, even though I have my preferences within the variations that exist within this set of motorcycles that are "CB1100s". To me, the CB1100 is far more organic looking than most any other motorcycle available today. It is just a very straightforward machine with a straightforward design. By this I mean that almost everything appearing on the CB1100 has a purpose, and very little if anything has been added simply for the sake of style. Honda didn't resort to disguising some parts of the motorcycle to look like something else. They didn't need to. I believe this same quality was still very much a piece of so many of the motorcycles that I find so appealing from the late 60's and 70's in particular.
I suppose that part of the true beauty of the CB1100 is that it spurs on conversations such as this. Man, I could really stand to go for a ride right now, lol. Two-wheeled therapy time is near.
