Its interesting how our frame of reference changes as it does. Another example: the VTX 1800 engine was a monster when it cdme out. Now its...average.
Yes! Of course I was also a MUCH smaller person then.
The CB1100 has more than enough power for us two up but for us it is about seating area length. From backrest to tank the CB measures 27 inches whereas my Triumph is 31, the Suzuki 850 is 30ish, and my Yamaha RSTD is closer to 33.
