It really comes back to the designed purpose of a given bike. The CB1100 promotion videos show a guy out for a nice relaxing ride. Where work, or home with the kids, or the evening news may be hectic, the ride is relaxed and he is decompressing. He's taking in the scenery, the air, the bumps, the motor rumbling along, the sound, the feel. The Kawasaki RS bikes are in the same vein but not as relaxed. Water cooled. Faster paced. The old Z motto was kind of let's see how fast she can go. Not as much feel from the motor as soon in the rpms. Neither is wrong. And I think many would have both if money were no object. The KAW 900RS Café is a nice looking rig, for sure. Takes many of us back in time.
