Short answer is yes do buy the CB1100. Man if you've been happy with your magna you will LOVE the CB.
I've had 3 Honda CB750's from '71 through '83. I loved them and have traveled from SF to NY and throughout the west/Midwest all that time.
I bought a 2014 CB1100 late last year for $7500 and I LOVE it! Man it is just such a fantastic ride.
Why has it not sold better than it has. It isn't a Harley and it isn't a crotch rocket, which is what people want these days so it is a huge value. Because of it's relatively cheap cost I was able to buy engine guards, a rocket fairing, a tail rack, and great set of saddlebags.
Man I am going to do some nice long distance touring on this bike.
To be completely honest with you... much as I love this bike I have one small criticism. For as many years as I've been touring the country this gas tank capacity is a bit on the small side. Plan on more stops more frequently.
