"Older" guys ride a CB1100
#1
To complement the thread: "Good guys ride CB1100", I just wanted to confirm something that may be true.

I should be picking up my new 2014 CB1100A (Canadian version which has the ABS and the same Engine Finish as the US Deluxe) in a week or so, and I am very much looking forward to it after owning mostly heavy cruisers along with an Italian CBF1000 in the mix.

I'm 53ish now, but I always loved the looks of the classic Japanese bikes from the '70s. Back then, however, my parents preferred to assist in the purchase of my first car rather than my first bike. That was probably for the best, as I might not have survived the experience of buying my neighbour's used Yamaha RD350! If the bike didn't kill me, my parents may have Wink

Long story, short, I was well out of my teens when I finally purchased my first bike (V-Star Classic 1100) and mature enough not to get myself killed.

How many other "mature" CB1100 owners out there purchased this bike because it harkens back to their youth? State your age if you dare Wink
