Is it a sport bike?

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.

1.a high-powered motorcycle on which the rider leans forward over the gas tank

Since I replaced the handlebars and now lean forward on the tank I guess it is a sport bike. And Encarta is not much of a resource, far too politically correct.

You can sit behind it and push if you wish and it will not be a wheel barrel either.

Encarta happens to be exactly right since I was there and know what the CB750 and brethren are called and why. The definition assumes you know that you must sit over the gas tank in the sport bike position, and so you do. On a standard the frame imposes an upright position. If you change that with new handlebars rather than buying a sport bike to begin with then it is just pretend.
