Both are standard? That's about it. Different pipes, engine, seat, tank, etc.
I didn't say it was a CLONE! Just that it had the same styling as a Bonnie. I'm sure it would blow the doors off mine (if it had them)!

I think many ppl would like to add this classy bike for a reasonable price to stables, and for many newbies it could be nice first one.
And quite possibly a last one. An inline 4 at that displacement will certainly put out north of 100hp, and not many newbies will be able to deal with that. I had an older Suzuki GSX1100G that would have your eyes bouncing off the back of your skull when you punched it. Nope, this is NOT a beginner's bike.

They've been on the highway in Australia for a while and all of the reviews seem to agree that the HP is pretty tame despite the displacement.

Live to ride.

My PGI-FI Aero feels a lot slower than my carbed Spirit. Has anyone really played with the PGI-FI to see if it's limited? The CB1100 is supposed to be PGM-FI, right?

I don't think you can do much to the OEM fuel injection except add an aftermarket fuel programmer like the Power Commander or Cobra's fuel controllers.
