Dang; I just read that the Deluxe is a whopping 30.9 pounds heavier than the standard issue model (about 5 pounds of that is the additional fuel, of course).
That is a complete deal-breaker for me. More weight? The CB1100 is already the porker in my garage. I like rougher secondary roads and more weight is not what I need.
But I do see how someone who racks up a boatload of freeway and more leisurely miles would benefit from all the little bells and whistles. It's a good freeway bike and the Deluxe would enhance this a bit.
