First off welcome to the forum and congrats on obtaining a CB 1100 dlx. Rare and beautiful bird.
Secondly as moderator I have read every post on this forum since day , and I don't recall anyone complaining about the issue you describe.
thirdly I have ridden 22,500 miles on CB 1100's..8500 on a 13 and 14,500 so far on a 14 dlx including at least 4 multi day-multi state trips with many miles up to 80 mph and have felt nothing like you describe. Honestly when I was reading your description I thought," there is something wrong with that bike". Buffeting is one thing, throwing you side to side with fear of losing control is way beyond buffeting. Unless you were behind semis throwing off dirty air, something is not right. This motorcycle is rock steady at any speed. First off, you bought used, are you sure it wasn't wrecked? If not wrecked, check tire pressure 36 f 42 R. Check rear wheel alignment. If it has a windscreen, remove iit and test it again. Are the rear shocks set on the same setting? How about the front forks? You SHOULD NOT be experiencing that kind of reaction from this bike.
