I guess it depends on the type of riding you do. Can't see it being a comfortable ride on long trips.

i'm really liking the cb1100. very cool lookin' bike. don't know why they call it a cb1100 though. honda has it as 999cc on their webside. seems like it should be a cb1000, but what do i know. either way.. i dig it.

as for the comfort. some people prefer the standard riding position and can ride farther and longer in this position than the cruiser style position.

Straight from the Link

And you can say the same about the new CB1100. Same engine architecture, except now it displaces a full 1140cc and offers fuel injection,

my mistake. i see that now. i was looking at when you go to "sport" on their website and all the bikes drop down. underneath the cb1100 is says 999cc.

i see that now. thanks for correcting me.

That's what i like about this hobby, to each his own. I am not a fan of that however it is great others are otherwise all our bikes would look the same.

The main question is price mark, 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.

If it would be around 6k it would be an absolute winner!
