Darn - The CB1100 is very heavy
#17
I like the CB's weight. On the "brain-side" I like it because I know it stems from quality materials like the heavy-duty frame bars, the steel gas tank, (Ducati's retro bikes had plastic tanks that deformed and leaked), even steel fenders. On the "butt-side" the bike tracks like a train on the super-slab and in the corners, and the weight helps that.

Carbon fiber and Unobtainium have their places, but the CB doesn't need them.
