first ride - amazing!

[Cormanus]

Jrns,

I don't know how to say this, but I've said most of these things myself and read them elsewhere on this forum. They are, it occurs to me, recurring themes in the comments of new CB1100 owners. You've summed it up really neatly, and I apologise for plagiarising your post, but I thought it might be fun to start a list of recurring responses from first-time riders.

Hi guys-thanks very much for the responses.
Another 100 km's and I've had time to get better acquainted with the bike.
The bar width might simply be me getting used to motorcycling after all these years. I'll give it some time. After all-who am I to question Hondas design wisdom
As far as the bike-as Rocky said, and I completely agree with: there is nothing I would change now. Over the winter I dreamed about a few upgrades and even pulled the trigger on a road comet fairing. However, I like the bike "as is". The fairing is in my basement still in the box. Perhaps next season I will put it on. Or maybe not?
I even thought I would like a black tank-now I see the spencer blue and wouldn't dare change it-unique classy bold and beautiful!
the only thing I may add soon is a rear carrier -as I plan to park my truck soon and use the CB11 as my main mode of transport this summer.
Right now I'm loving the CB in all its original glory-what a incredibly beautiful bike!
The one observation I have is -the more you ride this bike-the more you want to ride it...its hard to park this bike.
BTW: I'm amazed at the reactions and have to chuckle...mostly people think this is a reconditioned classic and marvel at how clean and new looking it is...LOL..priceless.
Happy riding all!

Anyone want to add to this list of standard comments from recent purchasers?
