My perspective on this: the CB 1100 is a 'Utility player'.
This from Wiki: "In sport, a utility player is one who can play several positions competently, a sort of jack of all trades. Sports in which the term is often used include football, baseball, rugby union, rugby league, water polo, softball and track. Its first documented use in reference to a motorcycle was on 18 Aug 2016 by Frulk, a member of the CB1100 Forum internet site to describe the bikes versatility".
Last Saturday she was a sport bike on a 40 mile spirited afternoon romp through the local Utah mountains.
Today she was a commuter cutting through traffic effortlessly for 18 miles to and from work.
Tomorrow she'll be a nakit sports tourer starting out on an 800 mile fast paced 2-day/3 state ride with no real goal in mind.
Sunday morning she could be the modern retro bike parked in front of my buddies coffee shop.
Come Monday she may be the quintessential UJM sitting quietly in the bike bay taking a well deserved rest for the day.
When the CB1100 gets put in the game she's capable of being what I need her to be on any given day.
