SPORT BIKE
This is the definition of a "sport bike". Neither the CB1100 nor the CB750 fit. Then, now nor in the future. The riding position is the most telling. It is a "standard" bike. That term was popular in the late 60 and early 70s to describe bikes like the CB750 and Bonneville and even the beautiful Norton Commando and that term differentiated them from the dirt bikes and Harleys.
Glad I could help.
