Just to put things in perspective, here is a quote from Cheatsheet.com about the CBR S 1000 RR:
"Honda CBR S 1000 RR ($13,999)
This superbike packs a 999cc liquid-cooled, four-cylinder engine that provides a maximum 170 hp for blasting out of stoplights. Capable of going 0-60 in 3 seconds, the CBR S 1000 RR is indeed a lethal weapon on the streets of any city or town."
Now, that bike, which IS considered a superbike, does the 0-60 in 3 seconds flat. That's only three tenths of a second faster than the CB1100. Can anyone really call the CB1100 a slouch?
Granted, that bike has a crazy top end of like 180mph+, but in the real world, or even on a track for that matter, who would ever touch that? Unless you plan on taking your bike to the Salt Flats on a regular basis, I don't see it happening.
So in practical reality, the CB1100 is really a fantastic motorcycle.
