I love the looks of spoked rims. My Griso has them (and runs tubeless tires, not all spoked rims are tube type). A higher 6th gear would be uber cool for touring speeds. Get those rpm's down into the 3's would be very very nice.
Four into two would also be nice. I'll like the symmetry that provides (but four into four would be preferable on this bike).
That said, I've been in two local Honda dealers this weekend and both had a CB1100 on the floor that had been there a spell. I suspect the market is approaching saturation. At least for us older farts that bought one because they brought back the glory days. Now if Honda can tap into market and create a need amongst the younger rider for this bike it could be just the beginning.
Damn. Did I buy too early?
