buying a cb1100 in the next few days - decision making

[tomas_imp]

hi all, everyone here seems to be well versed in motorcycling and also the vote taken for cb1100 riders on this forum shows that i do fall with the majority, so i am going to do a brain dump... please validate or convince me that i am wrong.

i want a reliable hassle free bike that will start when i want it to start, have a linear throttle response, naked and good classic styling. i will be parking the bike with no-garage, under covers and in a covered garage during winter. in short i wanted a honda accord of bikes...

so i started with honda cb500f, but that felt too small and i do have a buell blast which is a 500cc; the nc700x was too high for me and a little over engineered.

ducati scramble was cool looking but spotty performance and very temperamental when it comes to maintenance (not hassle free)

i do not want to ride triumphs or other such bikes (too many people i know have them)...

then i rode the bmw r nine t; wanted to buy it, fabulous looking bike, rides well etc; but again i am worried about how it will hold up to my careless maintenance and msrp of $15k was a bit much. the bmw f800r similarly seemed too much.

yamaha fz09 was fun to ride, but a little too peppy (even owners steer people away from its uneven performance) and the insurance quotes are way too high...

finally i saw the cb1100 and loved the looks; seems a bit heavy but seems handlable; i am looking for 1 bike to rule them all; i will never be a dirt biker; nor do any wheelies; i will go out on weekend rides with friends and maybe overnight trips; i will drive into the city maybe once or twice a week during summers...

also i have not ridden a cb1100 as there are no demo bikes... would have loved a cb750; but i only want to buy a new nike...

any reason why i should not buy the cb100?

for those of you who drink wine; i am not looking for a fantastic but temperamental super tuscan; or a fancy bordeaux or an overengineered aussie wine; but a easy drinking california merlot that tastes good year on year... or more like a high quality blended scotch as opposed to single malts... (nothing wrong with a 16 year old lagavulin, but for everyday drinking with lots of ice in the backyard, a chivas will do)...

thanks for indulging me...
