Hi,
A local dealer (Orlando) has a new 2014 CB1100 for $8000 without dealer fees. So it would be 9100.
I have to go 270 miles round trip about twice / month, and if I am running late I use the interstate and often go 85-95. I use a CTX700 for those trips. The CTX is a nice bit of kit, great engineering for a good price. The thing is, I just cannot handle the cruiser position. I have to be able to use my legs for "suspension". I sat on the CB1100 and went "vroom vroom" and I really like everything about it. What I wonder is, will I get too beat up without fairing ? When I was a kid all bikes were naked bikes, but I did not go that fast either. Is the CB1100 appropriate for the kind of trips I describe ?
