I didn't say " hasten the demise" , the so called motor "expert" who wrote the article for Revzilla did, I was simply quoting the article and I've said multiple times in this thread and in the past, that running the CB 1100 to redline would not hurt it, but I'm not ready to say it's actually good for it.
I believe Honda engineered the bike to be ridden at whatever rpm you choose as long as it's not bucking or exceeding redline, and it will last a long time ridden either way. Neither 2000 rpms or 6000 rpms is an issue for this motor.
Regardless I have a feeling you will run your bike how you want, and I'll do the same with mine, as will everyone else on this forum and throughout the motorcycling community, regardless of what we say.
