I should also add that I can imagine others preferring the shape of the new tank, and that's cool by me.
I was floored by the original CB1100 design — everything worked in harmony to my eye. The fact that the new model deviates from the original is bound to lose some points in my book. But there are plenty of folks who are ecstatic with some of the changes.
I'll give you another example: I really dig the shape of the original side covers, leaving the front section of the frame triangle exposed. Plenty of others clearly prefer the new design that extends over the frame.
I love the original design as it stands on its own. The new deluxe is a bit more of a nod to the past and that can't help but resonate more deeply with some than it does with others. They are both wonderful to look at and everyone will have their own preferences. And while I prefer the original design, I'll readily admit to being envious of the double-wall construction that they've gone to for the headers.
