By "enduro bike", I believe the OP was referring to the configuration of the rider's triangle / riding position of the CB1100..
Think of a supersport bike, the CB1100 and a cruiser. Then try to imagine what it would take to stand up and balance yourself on the pegs. On the supersport, you would have to push yourself backward and upward. On a the cruiser you would have to pull yourself forward and upward. On the CB, you would come the closest to simply standing up as the pegs aren't mounted on rearsets, nor are they forward mounted. Also the bars aren't set really low like a supersport, nor are they configured like those on so many cruisers.
While the bike itself isn't nearly the same, the riding position itself isn't all that different from the enduro bikes if days gone by (Yamaha DTs, Honda SLs , etc,) — at least by comparison to a supersport or a cruiser.
In other words, the Honda CB900C was more of a cruiser and the CB1100 is more of an enduro.
