Why the CB1100 will never be a big seller

I hadn't ridden for twenty years. I looked at Harleys, Triumphs, and Guzzis, but I wanted something that would be stone reliable and have reasonable dealer support. And I didn't want a Harley. The only other machine that looked like a motorcycle should at the Honda dealer was a Grom. There is a great post on the ADVrider forum under the dedicated CB1100 thread, post #200 that I am not competent enough to cut and paste or whatever to this site... says it pretty well.

You could ride to work/school, have fun on roads on the weekend, gor for trips with the soft luggage added, run errands, venture down a dirt road. . . . .

what a great idea!

Retro is one descriptor -- mutlifacted is another -- just makes good sense . . .
Don't say us mods don't look after you. Big Grin
