Extending on Chip's eloquent post, I do think that this forum has likely done more to market the CB1100 than Honda ever has. A lurker thinking about buying a CB would likely find such a pleasant and knowledgeable group of enthusiasts to be a 'club' they would like to be part of, by owning a CB. The fact that it is such a beautiful and versatile motorbike makes it an easy choice. Particularly if you ignore the comparison tests, both in magazines and in your own head, about which bike is 'better.'
Conversely, I've experienced such ugliness on other forums, related to other bikes, that I've actually reconsidered ownership of said machine. Anyone dipping in to the ZRX forum and being pelted by political garbage and trolling over asking a simple question would understand.
Bikes, like dogs, align with, and often reflect their owners....and vice versa. The CB1100 is a Golden Retriever.
