Sport Touring?

Hey Tink, Now if you tell me that you've also owned a BMW K1200RS, I'm really going to think we're twins. :-)

Wow Jheck10, you and I must be twin brothers from different parents ;-)
I too own a ST1300, and owned a VFR800 and a CB750 too.
While the VFR800 and CB750 are gone, they are not forgotten.
I do not own a CB1100 (yet) but I suspect I will use it for the same kinds of riding I used the VFR800 and CB750, canyons and commuting.
The ST1300 is my "ride to Montana for a cup of coffee" bike. I've ridded 985 days (Los Angeles to Corvallis OR) on my ST and she's the right tool for eating up miles and miles of interstate. She can be hussled through the canyons too.

Hello,

I'll make this short and to the point... I've got an ST1300 for over night trips, a vfr800 for all day trips, and a cb750 (that I absolutely love) for trips around town. Here's my question, how does the CB1100 suit you for all day and over night trips? I'm considering a CB1100 and selling the ST and VFR. I love the vintage look, and appreciate the modern performance and reliability. Good idea? I'm particularly interested in feedback from those of you that have set up and taken your CB11 on multi-day trips... What are the pros and cons of the CB compared to a more conventional sport Touring bike?

Thanks!

Ferret, You are right on the money. My longest day to date has been Austin to Omaha. 825 miles on the aforementioned BMW K1200RS in 15 hours. Truth be told, I don't think I'm cut out to do the Iron Butt thing. Never have I done 500 miles and thought to myself; "Darn, do I really have to stop now, have a beer, and watch SportsCenter?"

Lol right..ride at 80 mph all you like. After 400 or 500 miles, add up the miles, divide by the hours you spent on the road, and you will be doing great if you traveled 55 miles for every hour you spent on the road. Sad fact of life.
