Thanks everybody. That's what I needed to hear. Outside perspective cleared my head from an obsession over that particular CB1100. That also leaves a goal for the future.
I've taken riding classes 5x1.5hrs.
1st lesson was with a 125cc bike. Other 4 were on a 750cc Kawasaki zr7 which weights 230kg (507lbs) So I got used to the weight of a liter motorcycle. And I wouldn't want anything less powerful. Therefore at one point I saw the 919 HORNET as the best 1st bike I could buy (value), 200kg (440lbs) and a decent torque.
Even though my riding experience is minimal, I drive almost daily for 8 years with my car, so even if I'm a new rider, I'm more aware of the risks on the road than when I was 18year old. And the fact that I'm looking at bike like CB1100 and not at some super sport, I think I'm mature enough to handle a bike over 600cc+ or even a liter bike. Also wheelies are not on my to do/learn list
Wouldn't really mind getting a 600cc+ bike, because any bike is better than none, but wouldn't go any lower. Was also thinking SV650 and Hornet 600 at one point.
However, since that particular CB1100 is crossed out, that currently leaves me solely with a Kawasaki ZRX1100 on my mind...
Since ZRX is an old bike with a carburetor, I have a lot of googling left to do
.
Thanks again.
