So I bought a 2017 CB1100 as my first bike in the US. I have not ridden a bike in 20 years and my last bike in India was much much lighter and smaller. The CB is a great bike and rides much lighter than it weighs. Once you have her moving she glides and is smooth. I spent a few weeks getting familiar with her weight before taking her to the highway. I attended a MSF course and did all my drills on the CB home. I would highly recommend the CB as a starter bike. Please take the time to get used to her weight and realize that most weight related drops happen not at speed but when you are stopped or slow riding into your drive way or garage.
