Rocket..thank Guth. This is his baby. I'm just the baby sitter
Sorry for your loss, you are lucky to still have someone to check up on you and happy that the CB satisfies a need you have for aesthetically beautiful and properly functioning motorcycles. Hard to come close to the timeless beauty of a mid 70s Bonneville, but I think the CB 1100 measures up quite nicely.
And I agree with you I like round gauges, round headlight, metal fenders that cup the wheels, I like seeing motors and exhaust pipes, taillights mounted to fenders with the plate directly below it, nicely shaped fuel tanks and side covers, seats that look like something a rider and passenger could actually sit on with some degree of comfort. To me that says MOTORCYCLE!
