What a thread. Quite a range of answers too.

My .02 is similar to others:

1) No - a CB1100 is not a starter bike.
2) Find a clean, used SV650 or Fz6 but take it easy - those are still very strong bikes.
3) Then decide if the CB is still for you - a taste of the power and handling of the two above may point you in a different direction.
4) Sell the SV/FZ (for about what you paid) and move on.

Ride safe, friends.
