Getting rid of the CB1100
#16
I'm pretty sure when Honda designed this bike to handle relaxed and actually decreased power/torque to make sure it wasn't squirrelly, they were eyeballing 40-60 year old dudes that had too much pride to ride anything less than a liter bike, but no longer had the drive and/or skills to truly ride a liter bike. So, they detuned this beauty to a respectable but not earth shattering 80+ horses and made sure the torque was available through the RPMs. Think of it like this: The original CB's were built to win races. The new CB's were built for guys who remember that the old CB's were built to win races!
