Bummed by a test ride

[CIP57_imp]

Can someone pls tell me point blank if the engine response and sound as shown in virtualGuth video (7:35-8:15) normal and typical of CB1100? Because this was pretty much my experience on the test ride, and I didn't like it.

Normally this might be considered splitting hairs and overly nit-picking, but we all know that Honda engineers spent an obsessive amount of effort to get it 'just right'. So I just want to know if this is the expected end result? Because if it is normal, and expected, I would like to know if a pipe or a tune can change it.

I'm not sure why I'm respondeing to your question, this thread should have been closed some time ago. But maybe this will clear things up for you, if not maybe its time to move on to some other forum to dis-like there ride.
