At first I thought I might lust after that 6th gear but am very happy without it. I don't need the extra shifting. You won't be disappointed and you'll save some $$$. I still miss my 750. Paid $425 for it in the early 90s and sold it for $500 a few years later. That thing was fast and fun as he** as you know. My CBX riding friends were always surprised how easy it was to keep up with them.Hello Tom,
about the friends' 6-cylinder CBX, I agree that it has a very good visual appeal, but with your CB1100 you can go over them in any situation with the advantage of not having six carburetors to fix, with a lot of stability in corners and best brakes.
It's like the 1974 BMW R90S in mint condition that I have, it's an icon and beautiful to look at in the garage, but when it's time to ride I go with my Z900RS or CB1100 which are much better to drive.
