New Owner of a 2017 CB1100 EX

[GoldOxide_imp]

Hello all

This past Saturday I traded my Kawasaki 2018 Z900RS for a NEW 2017 Honda CB1100 EX. This was the Bike I wanted in 2018 and no dealers in the Chicagoland area would deal from MSRP. Needless to say, I was able to bring the price downa fair amount and received a decent value on my trade.

These bikes are pretty far apart in character and nature - but love them both. I will miss the "getaway" ability of the Z900 RS for sure - But wont miss the tall seat height and fuel delivery quirks (excessive engine breaking and snatchy throttle)

The CB is much more well behaved and will certainly not be teasing me to race off every stop (which is a good thing)

I really love the bike - but am thinking about buying another gas tank as I am not a big "red" guy. I was thinking black or dark grey metallic, maybe towards the end of the year. Anyone with any experience on swapping out tanks would be great to hear from or point to information I may need...

Thanks for your reading

Thanks for your time

Huh, ..., thanks for that useful perspective of the Z900RS Kalamari.
