Hi Everyone,
Thank you for the welcoming me in, and also all the different perspectives that you all have given me.
First and foremost, my reason on posing the question if the CB1100 was an okay starter bike specifically in this thread was I wanted the opinions of owners, and potentially of those that actually had the experience of it as a first bike. See what their thoughts was, and if they had to do it all over again if they would.
In addition to that the reason why I sought out going for the CB1100 straight off the bat was because I don't like the idea of buying used, at least with motorcycles. As my knowledge in the area is very little any machine I was going to buy I plan to buy new. I figured I'd get engine guards if anything were to go wrong, and have spare cash for repairs. For me fixing damages isn't a big issue.
However after going through all the feedback, it sounds as if my original plan was probably the best laid out. Which is to buy a smaller one(most likely the rebel 500), and then upgrade to the CB1100 in a couple years.
Again thank you everyone for the feedback, I really do appreciate you taking the time out of your day giving it to me.
Best.
