Of course, the good news is that those bikes will become sweet, sweet deals as used bikes for new CB1100 owners, who will (if they are sharp cookies) flock to this website in their teeming hordes, to soak up the year's worth of accumulated wisdom we've got on tap!
Honestly, I don't know exactly when it happened, but somehow, I something just clicked for me with the respect to CB1100, and it's grown on me something serious.
Mebbe it's when I named him Cap'n Kidd, which is big and ornery as any piece of horseflesh can be but which will get you wherever you're going and no mistake.
I know EXACTLY what you mean Red. I sat on one in a dealership I was visiting casually with a mate last March. I literally came over all Dewey eyed and didn't want to get off the bike. Maybe because I was born in '72 I just remember looking at similar shaped bikes as a nipper and it hit an emotional chord.
The same could be said for bikes like the Guzzi V7 but I sat on that and just thought "yeah it's small and alright". In fact I felt a bit of a tit perched on it since I'm 6'1 and 200 odd pounds (all muscle).
Since I bought the bike without riding it I was investing a lot in hopes, dreams and expectations (sounds like a Phil Collins album), but boy oh not did the gamble pay off!
I love the 2013 CB1100 like a child.
