Is it a sport bike?

For what it' worth .... (hint: not much)

Cycle World named the CB1100 as the best STANDARD bike of the year in 2013
RideApart named it the best RETRO bike
Motorcycle.com named it the best STANDARD bike
MotorCycleNews named it the best RETRO bike

The SPORT bike category was a battle between the Ducati 899 Panigale, the Triumph Daytona, BMW HP4, etc.

Does this mean the CB isn't a sport bike? Nope, just not in the running for the best sportbike.

It's certainly not the highest-performing sportbike, but then they heavily weight these so-called shootouts toward track performance. The GSX-R 750 was the best middleweight sportbike that same year in CW's shootout, held at Chuckwalla, one of my favorite tracks.

In pretty much every way I prefer the Honda for sport riding on the street over the Suzuki. Just as fun in the turns but far better on the slab.
