Great conversation! I'm with Buffalo Bill on this... I started out riding Yamaha's and Kawasaki's years ago...holding my nose whenever a Harley was around. But as I approached my 'middle aged' years, Harley was the only way to go and I've ridden and owned them for the last 12 years. But, when the CB1100 came out, I wanted one because I had always been disappointed that I never had owned a 4 Cylinder Air Cooled bike, like the orig. CB750. I enjoy all my bikes but the CB's ride, looks, and 'that Ferrari sound'... Wow! It is a great conversation starter everywhere I ride. The HD and the KLR just seem to blend in... not this CB. And interestingly enough... The Harley guys at the dealership like to talk about it, and when I'm out and about, it seems that the younger guys are interested too. I think Honda may have a huge winner here...
