Hi everyone, I'm brand new to this motorcyle and this site. I was in the same boat as many that couldn't decide if they wanted the Bonneville or the CB1100. I'm fortunate enough to be able to have two bikes, so since I couldn't decide I bought the basic Bonneville and also a 2013 CB1100. Well, after a couple weeks I've decided I might like the Bonneville better. All in all the CB is a much better bike in every aspect, except one. I don't like the high frequency vibration I get through the tank and grips. Due to this I have listed my brand new CB1100 on cycletrader and craigslist, and will be taking a significant loss to sell it. Before this thing goes, can anyone confirm what I'm experiencing and offer a solution, or is it just part of the old school "charm" of the bike? I love the styling and everything else about it, so I hate to get rid of it right away and take a big loss, but I also have no interest in keeping it and dealing with it. I can handle it for an hour, but after that my hands start to tingle and the feeling in my knees gets annoying. Thanks in advance for your responses.
