I had the itch for the old CBs about 3 or 4 years ago too. Back then I found a mint 1978 CB400 Twin and last year an '81 CB900 Custom. I also had either a modern BMW or Honda at the same time. Having 3 bikes was too much for me, the older ones don't like to sit, and needed more TLC to keep in perfect condition. My garage also was too small.
I sold the old CBs to make room for my 1100 and don't regret selling them. The 1100 fills all my needs and does it smoothly and reliably. While the older bikes fulfilled my need to reconnect with my motorcycle rookie days of the 1970s, IMO, there's nothing better than a modern day fuel injected bike.
