True Confessions of CB1100 Riders

[Guth_imp]

Would've been better on a CB1100! Time to upgrade?

I wonder if the 1100s take off any better in 3rd gear than the CB750 Nighthawks?

Seriously, I love the 1100's dearly and I will have one some day. I want one really really bad and just being patient for the good used ones when I can afford it.

But let me tell you I am impressed with this old 750 for what it is and a 11 year old basic motorcycle. Its not the best at anything but it does everything for me and does it well. And its simple and so easy to work on. I like it so much I keep thinking what an idiot I would be to sell it. I mean I really do like this thing.

The perfect seque for my latest confession:
I've come to appreciate my CB1100 more and more as my ownership of the bike extends into its second year. It's such a great bike for my needs. However, I couldn't bear to part with my 1988 Hawk GT when I bought the CB1100. I still ride my Hawk on a regular basis and enjoy doing so.

(Deep breath here) If for some reason I was forced to sell my CB1100, theoretically speaking only of course, I'd be just fine relying solely on the Hawk once again for my motorcycling needs. Having a good bike to ride, any good bike, is a blessing — far better than doing without.

Hang in there OldF7Guy, all in due time...
