Gentlemen,
I don't ride as often as I would like to and it's not uncommon for one of my bikes to sit for a month or more. Motorcycles with carburetors don't like that one bit and I have spent thousands of dollars rebuilding carburetors over the years, especially on Honda dirt bikes. I will never again buy a bike with a carburetor. My 1998 Harley-Davidson Road King was the first bike they built with fuel injection. It can sit for nine months and it will start instantly when I touch the starter button if there's juice in the battery. The CB1100 starts instantly, every time, no matter how long it has been sitting. After over a year of ownership this bike really stands the test of time. Another member commented that he liked it more today than when he first bought it, I second that opinion. I love this bike and really enjoy riding it.
