Sadly, I won't be purchasing (this) CB1100...
The tech rolled it around back to do a "pre-flight"... His final check was a test ride (about 3 miles). He got about 4 blocks from the dealer when the transmission failed. Apparently it froze up. He didn't go down but experienced an abrupt 'stop'.
So I'm told, they will have to replace both engine and tranny to make it right, but the components will take 2 to 3 months to get.
I'll continue to ride and enjoy my CTX700... and maybe eventually Honda will resume import of the CB1100 at which time I may try again.
I'd like to again thank the membership for their kindnesses, information, encouragement and help. I've enjoyed my brief visit to your forum.
Ride safe all...
