So, ... I said something like that about a year ago and ol' [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/member.php?action=profile&uid=3454]PB got worried and worked-up. Beware. It can still happen, even if you think it is ugly now.

The drive sprocket spun on it's shaft. The engine and tranny had to come out of the frame and there was a lot of internal damage to the tranny.

Just got this email from my Honda dealer:
Just Released: 2021 Honda CMX1100 Rebel
Close your eyes and imagine you have a Honda Africa Twin. Now, strip away everything about the bike that makes it one of the most potent adventure-touring models on the market, and start adding back the design elements found in the metric cruiser thing. Open your eyes.
What you just built in your head is the 2021 Honda Rebel 1100, and as you might be able to decipher from its name, the Rebel-styled full-sized cruiser features a parallel-twin engine that shares more than a few chromosomes with the 1,084cc motor found in the CRF1000L.

PB: Where have you been?

Nevertheless, the Rebel CMX1100 should definitely be lighter than the CRF1100. The CRF-class are beasts.
I like the CMX1100, but like the CB1100, I feel I would die of cramping in less than 60 minutes. I think the CMX1100 should do well. It may have much going for it and it will accelerate like stink. You'll be chasing its wake for sure.
