My first reaction to the new CB1100

Let's share our first reactions to the new CB1100. The first time I saw it in person (I had seen it in magazines and liked it immediately) was at the Moto-Gp in Laguna Seca last summer. The bike was on an elevated stand and I couldn't stop looking at it. I must have went back to the Honda display three times that weekend just to stare at the CB1100. I told my wife that I wanted to buy that bike, and if I did, the first thing I would do is repaint the side cover to match the gas tank. I also told her all it needed was 4-into-4 exhausts to be perfect. Fortunately for me Honda has repainted the side panel, and added a second pipe to the LH side because I am waiting on my 2014 deluxe that I have a deposit on.
