I would never buy a CTX700 instead of a CB1100. But, I will admit that I do like the CTX700. In fact, it's the only "modern looking" bike I ever liked. I didn't think it would ever happen. It would look good sitting NEXT to my CB1100 and my Suzuki TU250X in the garage.
I figured out why I don't like most modern bike styling and what I do like about the CTX700 styling. Most modern plastic bikes "slant downward" or point down. I hate that and they all do it! What I like about the new 700 is that it always looks like it's going forward (straight forward). It looks great IMO and it's bold and new! I'm expecting it to be reliable too. I may get one some day (even though it's not retro or old!).
