My conclusion is that the CB1100 is surprisingly competent in real-world road conditions. Granted, I am quite familiar with the roads we were on, and I am a decent rider with many years of experience and much track time, but I certainly expected the CB1000R to leave me in the dust. I have tried that bike before, and I also know that my friend on that bike is a good rider. To be honest, if he would have wanted to he could have gone faster but it would have taken a lot more effort. For me, more than the fact that I was able to keep a very strong pace for the day, was the fact that I was not at all tired after the ride whereas all the other guys were exhausted.
When riding on the street, one of the most important things to reduce risks is to be relaxed and at ease with the bike. It allows you to keep well within the safety margins, and prepare for the unexpected. The fact that the CB11 allows you to do this, all the while actually keeping a fast pace, shows how well designed this bike is.
