Horsepower..IF

[UJM Guy_imp]

One of the biggest complaints I hear from non CB 1100 owners on the onternet, is the bikes lack of horsepower. Common internet complaints say if only it had 110 horsepower I would think about buying one.

So.... There are pics of the CB 1100, supposedly a 2016 prototype, the one with the yellow tank, floating around on the web.

Here comes the IF part of the title..... IF this CB produced 110 horsepower, would that be enough to make you trade in your present CB 1100 for the more powerful version? Or are you happy with the horsepower your bike currently has?

Trade my 2013 CB1100 for a newer model with 20 more horsepower? Twenty years ago I most likely would have. I bought my CB1100 without a test ride. It was love at first site. Then after the first ride I found that the beauty was more than skin deep. I am very happy with the performance of my 2013 CB1100. While the CB1100 looks very retro it rides, handles and brakes like a modern bike. I wouldn't trade peak high RPM horsepower for the very useable low end torque. I am very happy with Honda refinement, reliability and 50MPG on regular gas. I have another bike with well over double the horsepower of the CB1100 should I feel the need for more power, but I love the CB1100 for what it is.
