I have recently sold my CB1100, a decision that tortured me for a while - the main reason being no 6th gear/smallish fuel tank capacity. We never got any models imported after the '13, so no 6 speeds available downunder.
I replaced the CB with another naked bike I have always lusted after, a GSX1400 which I believe you never got in the States? It's a great bike and does everything well and seems to have a bit more 'character' than my Honda did, but darn I loved how smooth and refined my CB was. Every single time I got on it, it put a smile on my face and was just pure pleasure to ride - until I got to the 110km/h mark, then I searched for that elusive 6th gear because it became 'buzzy'. If Honda every brings the CB back in to Australia I will be the first in line to buy one.
But the point of my reply to this post, even though I no longer have the CB I still love reading all the posts on this forum. There are some great characters and storytellers on here that make ride reports feel like you are there with them. And the forum knowledge to fix faults, modify and troubleshoot problems is mind boggling.
So as long as you don't mind an 'outsider' reading/contributing I think I'll be sticking around for quite awhile.
Cheers all
