I'm not too enthusiastic about getting into a hot debate with them but I guess I'll have to see what can be done.
Maybe I'm just trying to ride it faster than others on the forum, I'd have thought cruising at 90mph would be no problem on an 1100 straight 4.
I'd just like to move on from this now so if any members are interested in a basically brand new CB1100EX at a very very extremely decent price then PM me. I'll post some pics. and put an ad up in the classifieds.
Thanks for all your help guys.
If I was buying a bike to cruise at 90 MPH no problem I'm not sure a classic roadster would of been my first choice. I had a small PUIG screen on my EX for a day and I could very easily sit at 90 MPH from a stability and vibration stance but I wouldn't want to, the wind noise on the helmet was maddening. It's what sports tourers, tourers and adventure bikes are made for.

I actually made a fairing that fits on any classic roadster and gives me stability and zero wind buffeting up to and above 90mph. And perfectly suits my pillion too. I used it at 90mph all day on freeways for 10+ years on a guzzi police bike and over hundreds of thousands of miles, so with all due respect, may we agree to disagree?
I bought the bike to be able to do many things, from country lanes to 90mph cruising if need be. My point is that I'm surprised that the bike can't seem to handle it due to it's very unfortunate rough spot which is 2000 rpms wide!!!
