Vibration is relative. Before buying the CB11 I'd been riding a CB750 Nighthawk for 17 yrs. The CB11 feels quite a bit smoother overall. Possibly due to the factory installed bar-end weights.
Prior to the CB750 I rode a lot of old parallel twins (kaw, yammie, triumph). Comparatively, the I-4s are dead smooth. I-4s tend to have a higher frequency vibration, often referred to as a "buzz", but having been shaken to near death by the twins over the years, I don't even notice it.
