I've commented a few times on the buzz that can be felt through the bars at certain rpms, but I don't consider it problem. With the exception of my CB750 (which is amazingly smooth) the CB1100 is the smoothest bike I've owned.
Inline 4 engines have perfect primary balance, unlike singles and most twins. The mild buzz comes from a secondary imbalance when two of the pistons are at the top of the stroke and two are at the bottom. I don't consider it significant. I've done a few 400 mile days and it hasn't been an issue.
