The 1000R was the one I thought I wanted but the ride was really stiff and I felt every little ripple in the road. The bars were at an odd angle that made my shoulders tired quickly. The CB11 I took out and immediately felt at home on, so much so that in my ten mile test loop that included a highway run between exits, I took a side road just before pulling back into the dealer so I could open her up more in each gear and ride some twisties. I am 53 so the CB11 is a better fit for these old bones. It was nice and relaxing just as former MotoGP rider Tady Okada said it was in his video test ride.
same here...very tempted by the 1000. Then since I already had a street triple, I figured that when I wanted a stiff(sportbike) ride and be in a uncomfortable position I could simply ride that.
btw I'm 66.

I would give up motorcycling if the CB11 doesn't appear on show room. my previous 4 bikes all had less than 6K each in the last 20 yrs, one is a brand new bike with 1K miles after 5 yrs of ownership.
I put on the CB11 4K in 3 months since Aug. I don't have a lot of choice - 5'7 and 160lbs, my requirement is flat foot on the bike, no exception (yet) this bike is everything I hope for, fit like grove, decent power with good torque for low speed riding and utmost beautiful. I love beauty, give me a good ugly bike, I ride it but not for long.
It is also small, which I really like. I even like RED and chrome and water cooled engine. This is my last bike unless something else come and conquer my heart the way CB11 does (6 speeds CB11? ) someone love speed and ride fast, the best speed for this bike fits my riding style 20 - 70 MPH.
