Deluxe wasn't available when I got my '13 but the extra weight would have put me off anyway. I can see the six-speed being nice on the open road as well as the extra gas. This thing seems to need a gas stop more often than I need to take a leak and that's pretty often these days.
I guess I do think the Standard looks a little more svelte and period-correct with the four-into-one pipe and sleeker tank lines, for the sportier Honda inline four genre. It channels more of the CBX and CB400F to my eye.
I think right about now, that if I am of the mind where I just don't care about the money, I may just up and get me one of them CB1100RS models to see what it's all about, though. Time to do something with the FZ8, it could probably do some young guy needing a good all-round bike some good.
We'll see, and then we can all debate whether the RS is actually any better. Two CB1100s in the garage? What the...?!
Maybe the RS could do with both cams and a reflash to squeeze out those extra few ponies.
