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!
At the beginning of August last year I took a 9 day 3,757 mile trip on the CB...
It performed flawlessly in all conditions: 100+ degree dust storm in the panhandle of Ok. USA, 35 degree freezing rain and snow at 12,000 feet elev in Co USA, in the high winds at 14,160 feet elev of the highest paved road in North America (Mount Evans Co.), to the Desert of Az. USA and from the twisties of the "Million Dollar Highway 550" to the straight slabbing of the interstates. Very dependable and adequate motorcycle. I went 162 miles on a tank once(not by choice). I filled it up and figured 50 miles to the gallon. That was during a stretch of highway where speeds didn't surpass 65mph much if any. When slabbing it on the interstate at 72 mph- 76 ish it burns much more of course.
