Honda seems to have marketed the CB1100 to that group of riders, its retro but modern. They sure got my attention!I owned two a 79 750 super sport and a 1980 CB 750k, the 79 was a great bike had only 1200 miles on it when I got it, had lots of power the 80 was an just as good although it lacked on power because of lower compression. Of the two the 79 was my all time favorite but I'm gonna tell you the new 11 seriously is much more powerful and better handling.
I've owned and restored some nice examples of early CB750's over the years, this was my 1st one:

Riding impressions between the new and old, the 1st things that comes to mind is the smoother throttle response from the fuel injection, the 2nd thing is the improved front brake. More power, especially at low rpm's.
And please post pics of your old rides!
