CB1100 or ST1300?

Chain maintenance is so easy today that the advantage of shaft drive is not there for me anymore and I have had 4 shaft drive bikes including the ST1300. With a modern sealed chain and dry wax lubes, roadside chain lube takes little more time than a stop for gas. With a dry wax type lube the chain will stay clean enough on a long trip and a quick squirt of lube each morning is sufficient.
