How long did it take you to decide on the CB1100?
#17
It took me about three days.

I was at the dealer looking at a used BMW K that he had...price was right but the bike was a basket case. Waste of time...so I tried to mitigate the time lost by wandering through his showroom looking at the eye candy. And there it was...it just screamed out to me; so different from the crotch-rockets and dual sports and parody cruisers there.

I sat on it and it seemed...a trifle tight. No surprise; just about every Asian bike is. One more reason I leaned towards BMW. But I researched it; and I could see I could scoot back a bit on the UJM saddle...and the dealer and I started negotiations.

Start to finish, about five days.
