I've thoroughly enjoyed reading all the comments on this thread and agree with most of them, especially regarding styling. I laughed, and was in 100% agreement, with the O.P. who said "It's styled like a two wheeled Star Wars storm trooper uniform stuffed inside a crushed set of monkey bars and incorporating every conceivable combination of odd angles and curved surfaces. It assaults the eyes from any angle. Active suspension front and rear with several different modes, accelerometer, lean angle sensors, wheelie control, ride by wire, and an engine with an electronics suite that can deliver power like a Superbike or a scooter depending upon which mode the rider selects after "toggling through all of the options".
I have looked back lustfully over the years at my 1980 CB750F SuperSport, bought new for $2800 that I wish I still had. To me, that is one of the many appealing aspects of the CB11, but add to that fuel injection, ABS, and so on. I currently ride an '03 FJR1300 (which I'm selling if anyone is interested) and while it has a lot going for it, the ergos don't fit me as well and honestly, I want to simplify. I can't wait for my first ride on the CB and in the meantime will absorb every piece of info out of this forum that I can. Nice to be here.
Gentlemen,
I read the above and I really liked that quote too so I went back to the original post to see who wrote it. Good grief it was me!! Alzheimer's must be setting in here.
