In the garage or in a parking lot, given two bikes of equal weight, the one with the higher center of gravity will feel "heavier" because of the higher strength needed to keep it upright when tipping it left or right a few degrees. Probably the CB1100 has a somewhat high CG because of the vertical engine placement and the weight of the 4-cylinder DOHC head.
