Bought my CB1100 toward the end of October last year and I passed the 10,000 mile mark earlier this week. Thought I'd share my experience so far with this amazing bike.
I've had absolutely no issues with it so far. I do all the maintanence myself so I did the 8,000 mile valve clearance check and everything was fine. I had to change the front tire at about 7,800 miles but I'm still running the original rear. I've not had to adjust the chain yet and the slack is still at the mid-point of the limits. Love those x-ring chains. Added a Corbin seat, handlebar risers, windshield, luggage rack, heated grips, and engine guard. I'm currently getting 60mpg and can easily do 170-180 miles between fill ups.
The bike is a dream to ride. Very smooth and broad power band. Responsive handling and now that I've changed the seat and the handlebar height, a very comfortable all day ride. Definately a keeper!
