But, that's not why most of us bought this bike. It's altogether possible that if there was a 750 version of the CB available, I might have picked that instead.
Other bikes have power that is almost beyond comprehension. Just read a review of the Kawi H2R - a bike with 326HP (almost 4X the HP of the CB!) and weighs less. Even if the price tag was the same, the CB still gets picked.
DAC,
You have nailed it here but you fail to see the most important power measurement that the CB1100 dominates in. A more important measurement than horsepower or torque. A measure of power that leaves that H2R wheezing helplessly behind the conquering CB11. And it is this. I can get on my CB1100, thumb the starter, ease out the clutch, and it will rocket me from 0 to 1969 in less than 5 seconds.
The H2R doesn't have that kind of power. CB1100 wins. Cheers.

Dang... 0 to 1969 in less than 5 seconds, I had better be careful before I end up eleven years old again.
