Is your CB a keeper?

[Ulvetanna_imp]

I love my CB. It's the best bike I have owned. I have no intention of ever parting with it, especially after all the "customization" I have done to it. I don't get how some guys can do so much work on their bikes and then turn around and sell them like nothing. Adding new bikes to the stable, however, is always an option.

I have trouble understanding that, too. I think the only reason I'd sell it is if I really got where I could not manage the weight for some health reason or due to an injury.

I don't ride that much but everytime I ride my DLX it just keeps getting better, the quality feel of a Honda product puts a smile on my face whenever I ride. I feel I own something that is hard to find and that makes me want to keep it even more and just looking at it in my garage makes me feel all warm and fuzzy!yeah for now she is a Keeper.

I'm going to run the wheels off mine.

I have been dreaming of owning an in-line 4 since the CB750 K0 came out. Now I am proud owner of a CB1100 for 2 weeks now, parting with it is the last thing on my mind. You might say you would have to pry my cold dead hands off of the handlebar grips before I would say good-bye to this bike.

I have had at least one motorcycle in my garage for the past 48 years. The best decision I ever made was to down size to the Cb1100. It is all and everything I need in a motorcycle. It will, unless something tragic happens to it before me, be my final motorcycle. That is unless technology catches up and there is a truly viable all electric option before I am so old I can no longer navigate on two wheels. Even then I may upgrade to two.

I can tell you that comparing the CB1100 with the [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=9879]Wolf Classic 150 (essentially a CB125 bored out a bit) the heritage and relationship is very obvious.

Honda, deciding to make a clean-sheet design but making every effort to capture the design features of the old CB's from the 1970's, have done a phenomenal job with the CB1100. It is remarkable how similar the bikes are in so many respects.

For $3,000 the Wolf Classic 150 actually has greatly enhanced my ownership experience of the CB1100. You could consider it an accessory, really.

Yes mines a keeper, though it doesn't mean it will always be my solo ride. I got into motorcycles because my old man kept his first street bike (xs650), that will eventually be passed on to me. I plan on having others but I can't imagine not keeping the cb to be passed on down one day as well.

When it comes to bang for the $$ the CB is hard to beat. I'm happy with the one I have and see no reason to get rid of it. I used to look at the high dollar stuff that I owned and seldom rode and thought why do I have it if I'm not going to ride it, well the CB has solved that issue. It's a relatively low $$ bike, I love to ride it, how can you beat that. Happy, Happy, Happy!

Truth be told, I really have too many bikes (some say you can never have too many bikes ) and over our relatively short summer each one doesn't get ridden that much.
I love the 1100, and it's the star of the fleet, but in three summers I've only ridden it 6000+ km's.
It's a keeper, but there are no other riders in my family so the day will come when all the bikes will be sold.

Rocky, I'd hate to tell you the combined total miles I've ridden on 3 bikes, in 3 full years. You're doing good my friend!

^ Yeah, but you work too hard ride4now. Just wait till you retire.
