throttle response is linear and predictable, the engine is very smooth so is the gears/clutch. the frame is firm, no flex as I see. I can't detect flaws in it.

I was hoping you guys could tell me how you like the throttle of your cb1100. The fuel injected bonnevilles have issues because of the emissions system (which I am working on getting off and tuned). Does the honda also have a secondary air injection which messes with the throttle, making it jerky?
Also how's the gas mileage? I hear the cb has a smaller gas tank with something like 40mpg- not sure what octane your bike requires (will be doing a lot more research on these forums in the near future).
Thanks for your time fellas, I hope to have two bikes in my garage at one point (the bonneville with the future 1200cc big bore kit and possibly the cb1100 or something like a royal enfield/moto guzzi)
