To me the car equivalent of the CB11 is the 2007 Mustang GT. A retro styled Mustang that homogelates elements from 1964 to 1970 Mustangs with a modern V-8 and much greater reliability than the 60's cars.

Yes. I agree. But the Mustang has the "Pony Package" V-6. The engine is obviously neutered. 86 or so HP from an 1100 cc? I like the bike but the HP was figured on a Monday morning before the coffee was ready. Just my .02 cents.

My 2007 Mustang GT has a 4.6L V-8 with very good (but certainly not world beating) performance. I think the big CB is an excellent match here. I'm not an expert track rider and most of my street bike time has been on Harley's and other air cooled twins like the Bonneville so I think the CB11 has excellent performance. I bought a new 600cc sport bike years ago and the performance of that bike was so far beyond my capabilities as a rider it wasn't fun for this old man. Cheers.
