Tell me about your CB1100

[Mike Bee_imp]

Hello there, I ride a 2009 triumph bonneville. At the time when I purchased it I was seriously considering a honda cb1100 but went with the triumph because I found it for a pretty good price.

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)

The Honda's can get pretty good gas milage. I've gotten 52 with just 1K miles on the clock. Others here have reported upper 50's.
