I mean it was always a great, more than capable mount, single or double up, but in the last 38,000 miles it has really grown on me, so much so that I have considered buying another for when this one is worn out.

Prior to that my next favorite bike was our 1977 KZ1000 Kawasaki. Reminds me a lot of the CB1100.

That's funny ferret, I too was hot and cold on my 2009 ST1300.
Bought her in 2010 and loved her... for a while, until the new car smell wore off.
ALMOST sold her back in January 2015 with 22K miles.
Rode her another 12K during 2015CY for work (San Diego/Home/San Diego/Home...) and began to love her all over again.
It was those 200 mile daily runs to San Diego that convinced me she was a keeper.
She now has 34K miles and has been trouble free; except tightening of the cooling system hose clamps, and the plugged 5-way vacuum hose fitting.
