CB1100 as first bike?

I think it would be good. I was away from riding for a long time and had not rode anything as heavy as the CB except for a couple of short rides on some 750's. It took me a minute to get use to the weight of the CB. But now I feel good on it, its still a heavy machine, but as soon as you start to roll she feels light and nimble. I took it easy and was very cautious, I had a fear of dropping a brand new bike! but every time ride it, it gets easier.
I would say yes. If you have ridden before, take your time, get use to the bike and you will be fine. Hope this helps.
