Who rides the CB 1100?

[Kiwikevin_imp]

I'm a 52 Year old automotive engineer, no longer on the tools but still in the industry at a vehicle distributor providing assistance to the dealer network. The CB1100 was my 50th birthday pressy and second bike counting the VTR250 my son and I shared and passed our motorcycle licences on so I've only been riding 5 years or so. When looking for a bigger bike I got tired of looking at loads of plastic and no chrome! The CB1100 caught my eye and that was the end of that decision making process! Also old school technology - air cooled and no CANBUS systems but the reliability of fuel injection AND Honda...Interesting the only reason the CB's came to NZ was because they were not selling well in Aussie, and NZ was the closest place to help eliminate the stock. The other reason for buying - I did not want to spend my weekends working on a bike - just riding it! Took it in for its 12K service today..
