I've been riding about 10 years, and am curious to learn if there are any women out there who own/ride one of these regularly? It's significantly heavier than what I currently own, so I'm a bit concerned about the physics/geometry of handling one of these (as a not-too-large chick).
Hi McSpoff, there's a gal on this forum who owns one and her forum name is Dangergirl416. You could do a search for her and send her a PM asking her what her height and inseam is. Since you are also a female, you could even ask her what her weight is without getting in trouble!
My own opinion is that most anyone with 10 years riding experience like yourself could easily handle this bike. It only wants a light touch at the controls and feels far more manageable and light than it's weight and motor size would suggest. I've found the only time it feels somewhat heavy is when you're not on it and maneuvering it around the garage or driveway. But with a little care and concentration that's not really a problem either. Good luck and we hope to have you as part of the CB1100 community soon.
