Can I hear from all 45 and under riders? Why did you pick the CB1100?
#91
In november of last year I went 32, but the CB1100 was already one of my dreambikes back in 2012, when I really started to get into motorcycles.

So back than it was the std model since there was no DLX/EX.
When the EX model came out I was completely hooked Smile

Since my first interest in bikes I was never into super sport bikes.
The only modern naked motorcycle I briefly longed for was a Kawa, cant even remember the model.
Now I think all modern (Japanese) naked motorcycles more or less look alike and are just plain ugly Undecided
The MT-09/FZ-09 is an exception Thumbs Up
Also Ducs Hypermotards were attractive. And the mighty Vmax!!

I did have a heavy Sportster/HD period (didn't we all? Blush) and after that a CB1300 period.
And than a huge Triumph Thruxton period Cool
The final obsession was the ultimate one: CB1100.

At the same time I couldn't get an FJR out of my head, there even was a heavy K1600 period with now and than the occasional F6B added into the mix. Smile

I must honestly say that sport touring bikes still plays in my head, as a second bike, next to my dream bike, wich I currently own Smile
As for sport touring bikes, I'm kinda re-entering my VFR1200 period now Smile

All those bikes have 1 thing in common, upright seating position Smile
So I always seemed to be oriented to the retro or more classical looking naked bikes ánd sport touring bikes.
So I think I am not your average cliche young motorcyclist.
