Also if coming from smaller, older bikes; take it easy on the throttle until you learn the power of this bike. It is no 200hp super bike, but a true beginner could lose control and be surprised.

If one has the ABS system the rear brake is linked to a single piston on the front brake increasing it's effectiveness, the front brake when applied engages 2 pistons. I chose this bike because of the ABS system, absolutely the best performance I ever had in braking. The hydraulic clutch is sweet too as is the linear power curve. I find the CB1100 a fantastic sports bike for one up riding and a great bike for the money.

I am not sure what it is like in the US, but in Europe only the 2013 model had ABS and CBS (which is the linked braking option). In 2014, they did away with the CBS and so only offer an ABS solution which does not link front and rear brakes.
