True Confessions of CB1100 Riders

[flynrider]

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.

I know what you mean. I couldn't bear to sell mine.

I was reminded what a good bike it is this weekend. I made a 400 mi. trip up to visit family at a cabin in NE AZ. The CB1100's front tire was showing wear bars, so I decided to play it safe and take the CB750 instead. I had a great, comfortable ride up to the cooler elevations and the trip went without a hitch. Exactly what I've come to expect after 18 yrs. and 40K miles on that bike.
