I had a few minutes to burn after work yesterday so I drove over to the local Honda dealer. They have one black CB1100 left on the floor. I was amazed how much better the black bike looked in person, although I still feel that they went way overboard with the black wheels, engine and transmission.
I had not sat on a CB in several months so I had forgotten how petite the bike is! It is so nice to be 5'7" and sit on a "real" bike and have it feel comfortable beneath me, have my feet on floor and not instantly feel like I need to purchase handlebar risers. It was so different from the last few bikes I've owned (2 BMW GS's, and a very tall KTM dual sport).
Thanks for letting me lurk around here as a "future CB" owner, I look forward to someday sharing the pictures of my new bike with you all.
