Hey Paul, thanks for the perspective and welcome to the Forum - and I reckon bye?
Crafted in the spirit of '70s CBs, so might the general ergonomics, or more to your opinion - the seat comfort. This is a highly variable assessment by CB1100 owners, including myself. I found consistently after 60 to 75 minutes I would suffer. Is this the bike's fault or my physique make-up? I tend to lean towards the latter since many owners don't seem to have the same issue.
As for the sloppy lump, well, I believe that was maybe a design specification. Nevertheless, many do enjoy it. I thought it was a "pretty happy" air-cooled mill.
The valve maintenance: Yeah, Honda could have done something different - not sure why they didn't. Maybe their current implementation is much better than most realize?
Fork dive: I hear ya.
Fit 'n' finish: Yeah, above average.
