CBR 600 Rims on the CB1100?

I have always thought that one of the things that appeal the most to me with the CB is how extremely well-balanced it is. As soon as you begin moving it sheds its weight completely, and just feels so well balanced. I think this is partially down to the 18 inch wheels providing a stronger gyroscopic effect. Having tried the RS too, I found that it certainly handles better at speed, but it does not quite feel as neutrally balanced at slow speeds.

For me, the 18 inch wheels just suit the CB better making it the classic incredible bike it is.

I guess it makes sense, though I haven't had a chance to try the RS. You raise a point of balance and I wanted to reinforce that, as I think the CB1100 is a really well balanced motorcycle, it especially shows at low speeds, or sitting at signal lights waiting to move, or doing footless stop signs, and footless take-offs. I especially like to sit on the bike both feet up while on center stand, kick into first, rock it off the stand and just go. It kinda feels like a tiny little show-off move, but I don't care, it's simple and effective
