Hi all, so I have liked the cb1100 since the 1st press releases came out. To me it looks like what a motorcycle should look like. But I have a few questions for the owners. I am 6'1" and worry it is too small. I am proportionate, not a long torso and not long legs relatively speaking. Any tall riders here with feedback or mods to make it fit better. Or is it good to go as is.
Another question, this will be the 1st time back on a bike since the 1980's. I like a relaxed ride for enjoyment, do not need blistering speed, outrageous lean angles or wheelies( read: I am older!) the reports seem to point me in the direction of the honda. I also like the Bonnie as well, but honda is honda and I believe they are a better bike manufacturer and reliable. Any regrets with purchasing the bike? Shortcomings?
I can get some good deals on leftover 2013 models, but do you think the 2014 upgrades are worth the extra coin? Are the ergot any different on the 2014 model relative to a taller rider?
Any other input is greatly appreciated.
Dave
