Thats good news. When I was looking for my CB1100 there weren't any new ones available in my state. I found one used in my state with 4600 miles on it. After remembering back I realized you can't hurt a Honda engine. The only thing that can hurt them is no oil, and I really think they would run a long time without oil.
I had a rebel 250 and my whole family rode that thing around the yard the street in fields and you name it. It doesn't even have an oil filter. It was the thrashing bike around here. We rode it hard and put it away wet and the chain only got adjusted or lubed when we thought about it (nearly never).
That bike is still around mounted on my 1957 Cushman Eagle and still runs good
With the electronic limits on the CB1100 it self controls how the engine can be used so not much damage can be done.
I remember when I first saw the innards of a CB750, wow those things are really put together. Strong rods and bearings, a beefy crank and a wonderful oiling system. Things have only improved with the CB1100.
