Sayonara to the CB1100, with an exit interview.

When your choices at odds with one another it can make things confusing. I won't say that the CB1100 is a lightweight motorcycle by any means and I'm not trying to argue that it is. But your mention of this now strikes me as bit odd. I say this because no one around here worked harder to convince us that the CB1100 is truly a sport bike than yourself. Now you're stating that it's an overweight bike that is good for riding at conservative, fuel-saving speeds and savoring the scenery.

Let's face it, few things are better at casting a shadow on an existing object than the beam of light shining down on the shiny new object of desire. On that note I'll add this: You've shared a lot of great things with us about the Street Cup and the Z650. I'm guessing that at some point down the road a number of these things will still hold true for you. But based on your exit interview I'm also guessing that their flaws will be revealed around the time you've found your next bike to buy.
