Can I hear from all 45 and under riders? Why did you pick the CB1100?

I was 45 when I bought my CB1100 2 years ago. I had my first bike when I was an 18 year old punk. Then got married young and life happened. When I stated bike shopping a few years ago I was looking at the Ducuti Diavel believe it or not, but then I saw the CB1100 at the bike show and it spoke to me.

Attached is a picture of me as an 18 year old on my 1980 Kawasaki LTD 750 twin and another pic of the bike.

With the LTD 750 Twin I picked up motorbiking again and the bike stayed with me
for more than 10 years. I enjoyed the torquey parallel engine a lot, although
the bike was a heavily used one and I had to take care of it and exchanged different
parts of it , because they ran out of work. But the motor always kept on going.
The LTD is the reason, why I love this kind of engine besides the In Line Four.
And of course some other stuff....

But the Parallel Twin has a special place in my heart.
As much as I dig my CB, honestly written, you don't need more than this.
So, I'm glad to posses and ride a W800 too! It reminds me on my LTD.
