The CB1100 is not fast, it's not expensive, but it IS heavy. What is this guy on about? It's an RS dressed up. Love the look, though.

Gotta love the way a set of shagged up slicks makes it appear even tougher. By the look of those brake disks you may be doubting that the bike has ever been used. Never mind, it is a great looking bike.

Interesting. I could help them design a superbike using the CB 1100 platform that might actually sell. There are 2 Hondas from that era that everybody says they had wished they had never gotten rid of... The 79 CB750F and the CB900F. Redesign it to look like those and I think Honda would have a winner on their hands.

You should do, but it would cut into your bow-hunting time! I always joke to people that anything other than riding itself "cuts into my riding time."

Funny as I was alluding to this very thing, "sales by visual design" in another thread this morning.

Sorry, Capo, I clicked the link so fast I didn't even see it was you who posted. Thanks for that. Awesome-looking motorcycle. BTW, this chap Gustafson, he is a bit of an iconoclast, no? I have really enjoyed some of his writing but it would seem his knowledge of tech is in need of enhancement.

These days though I will take honest editorial over equivocation and technical knowledge, just for the entertainment value.
