Is this the bike for me?

The CB1100 may look 1980's, but the engine, fuel-injection, and gearbox are brand-new, slick-as-snot. At your height, you'll probably buy an aftermarket seat with more padding that puts your butt just a little farther from the pegs, easing the bend in your knees.

The CB is a lovely bike for relaxed cruising on a nice twisty backroad.

Welcome to the forum, and good luck on your search for answers.

p.s.--thumpertalk.com? Heck, they made a website all about me?!

Exactly! You know those guys that love 1960's muscle cars but don't want to actually work on 1960's engines? This guy right here.

I love the cafe racer look, but at 6'3" this is about as close as I can get, and the modern appointments make it a steal.

FTR I already want the thing...this thread is fueling how quickly I do it (even though I have to wait until stores get the '14).
