I bought my CB1100 EX 2014 a month ago after having HD for like 7 years. Got used to it on my daily city routes. Today I rode my Sportster just to see the difference and then Honda. My God! what a huge difference. I thought something is wrong with HD. It doesn't turn nor brake. It shakes and makes a lot of noise. Now I'm sure I'll get rid of it.
Just sharing my experience since I'm just overwhelmed with CB. Love it.
What was your experince old vs new bike?
Voitus - Warsaw, Poland.
What model year is your Sportster? The newer ones are a lot smoother and brake better than the Sporty's I owned. I had an 883 and a 1200, but this was before H-D rubber mounted the engines and improved the brakes. I can't remember when they did this along with fuel injecting the entire line.
My CB1100 makes more power & stops better than any of my H-D's did, and is certainly smoother. I've enjoyed my Harley's but for reasons other than pure performance. I'd have to admit that the same must be said for my Honda since there are many bikes available that will out perform it. But I don't care - they aren't CB 1100's!
