All of us are different, and what stirs one man's soul won't necessarily work for the next guy.
I loved my 919 (especially after putting an Ohlins on the back), but that bike was simply a naked sportbike, with 17" premium rubber at both ends, and an engine that just loved having its neck wrung. The 919 was a blast on twisty back roads, but like a devil on your shoulder, it just wanted to run at triple-digit speeds.
The CB11 is a much more relaxed machine, that doesn't beg me to ride it hard, or fast. That's what I love about it. It's my comfort ride.
When I'm in a quick mood, the CBR1000RR or the VFR1200F are always willing to scratch that itch.
Good luck on your quest to contentment.
