Why the CB1100 will never be a big seller

[Cormanus]

I don't think they release sales by model, so we'll never know. But I don't think this is unprecedented. Haven't they, and others, been inconsistent at times on how they produce certain models?

Why, such forum luminaries as ride4now and the Ferret himself dashed out and rid themselves of the black engine and tangled pipes...

I'm just impressed that I'm in the same league as The Ferret and am considered a luminarie... whatever that is... Let me put it this way... I loved my '13, but the '14 did it even better. Kind of like the blonde I loved in High School who was replaced by the Brunette a bit later. The brunette is still here and has been my wife for 40+ years. The blonde, well, she married someone else and got fat...

Although in this case the brunette has around 30 pounds on the blonde

EDIT: Just to be clear, I am indeed talking about CB1100s here. I don't want to get on the wrong side of any blondes or brunette's out there, and certainly not Mrs. ride4now.

I would also note that ratio of the CB's weight to my own is decreasing on a yearly basis*.

*Sadly, my CB isn't getting any lighter.

Mrs ride4now thought you were very nice when we met you last year, now she's not so sure. . Guth, I did show her the back and forth... was actually a bit concerned when she read that 'I loved that blonde', but she got over it when I mentioned her current appearance. She's fine now.... I don't think she gave two thoughts to what you wrote. I think she thinks this whole forum stuff is a bunch of grownup men acting at times like kids. She's probably right.

Mrs ride4now was very nice to me back in 2015. I won't hear a word against her!
