The true beauty of this motorcycle. (another LONG read)

the whole time glancing at the CB1100 and in awe of how simple and reliable that big air cooled engine is . I have had some super fast bikes = turba Busa and rock solid bikes i could not kill = CB / CL 350's but no bike has even made me as happy as the CB1100.

just happy to be alive and a simple man

use2b , you're for sure know how to live. Thanks for this nice music intermezzo. I played this song in vinyl to my older son when he was small (translating the lyrics to him). So I was super happy when this Christmas came back home from University and sat together listening again those old records. Anyway I 'm totally with you , I also had fast bikes in the past. My latest (Husqvarna Nuda 900) was not only very fast but also very demanding physically and mentally. Like a Lolita in a bikini. I had a GREAT time with her. Sometimes she was letting me take my wife together on our rendezvous despite the very small and hard saddle . Strong and torque engine and a sound like a husky bark . On the road could feel the respect and the jealous eyes of the other riders. But in the end the love became...HATE... maybe because she was happy only on full throttle or because she was never letting me enjoy anything else besides her. Oooff.. As for CB1100 , everything has been said in this I must say apocalyptic thread. Gorgeous looks, so balanced, engineering to the bone, great proportions, real motorcycle, an archetype...etc..In comparison my Nuda 900 was to me as I said before a Lolita in a bikini ( living for her and her wishes ). CB1100 is to me a Japanese Geisha ( living for me and my wishes ). You said it : NO bike has ever made me as happy as the CB1100. And if sometime fail i'll forgive her because this is real love.
