Exactly, the fz9 (which I have been following since rumors arose), is a competitor with the street triple and essentially any naked-styled torque-monster of a bike typically meant for shredding canyons but also working as a daily driver quite nicely.
The fz9 has nothing to do with the cb1100. If you're comparing quality, you should see all the problems the fz9 is having (notchy throttle, horrible front end feeling, etc) vs all the problems the cb had when it first came out.
DISCLAIMER: i do not own a cb1100, my daily and only bike at the moment is an '09 T100.
