Gee, I dunno exactly what to add. I've only had my CB1100 std for a few weeks and it is still under 1000 miles. It is smooth for sure...plenty of power. I'm addressing the lack of "leg stretch" capability with engine bars and pegs. They are "in the mail." I wish mine had ABS, but it was the only new 2014 left in the region when I bought it for a very large discount. Love the 6th gear. The way the engine pulls reminds me of the old Kawa Voyager inline four that I had a couple of years ago. Of course being much lighter, it zooms faster...Believe it or not, my 95 BMW K75 3 cyl seems slightly smoother, but lacks a sixth gear and winds up big time even at 55 mph.
