I thought I'd update on where I've got to: the forum has been really helpful (and amusing: the strike, pump and wind exchange has convinced me that CB1100 riders are superior beings).
Anyway, for now the CB1100 is too much bike for me. I've gone for a V711 Special, weighing in at sub-400lbs vs 544lbs for the CB1100. I know these are not comparable machines, but for now the Guzzi is going to give me a lot of fun.
I still think the Honda is perhaps the best looking bike of it's type I've seen, so may well come back to it. Thanks for the advice,
Beerman
