This is my first post. Ever since I saw the CB1100 on the showroom, I've been obsessed. I own a 2013 BMW f800GT. It's a great bike, but I am having trouble dealing with the handlebar vibes... I've tried all the "remedies". Anyways, I really like the look of the CB and I'm thinking of trading in my F800 for the CB.

I pose these questions because my local dealer does not allow demo rides on new bikes Dodgy I would like to get a feel for how the bike rides in terms of comfort and handlebar, footpeg, etc vibration.

Anyone out there own both?

How do they compare In terms of rideability?

I test rode the BMW R1200R (2007) when switched back to my CB1100, it felt like it ran on electric motor. the CB1100 engine is very smooth, that at 6K RPM, the rear mirror view is clear.

It is smooth enough that I sometime run in 4th gear on hiway w/o realizing it.
