If I had to give you negative thoughts..
1. I found it a bit too heavy at stop/slow speed(like parking lot maneuver) but I'm only 5'3 135lb and everybody else told me it's not bad at all.
2. I also found that seat could be better for after hours of long ride, but 2017 has revised seat so I don't know.
3. Fuel consumption gets kind of bad if you ride aggressively, but it's a 1140cc Inline-4 so what do you expect.
The Japanese CB1100 has 765mm seat height.
You can get an EX model in Japan which comes with raised 785mm seat height. (same as American spec)
But the standard one come with 765mm which is 20mm lower than American spec. (20mm=approx 0.8 inch)
