I am really jealous. Fabulous bike.
I try to aggravate one person a day. Today may be your day.

While out driving yesterday, a guy rode past me on one. We were in town, doing about 35 mph, so I matched his speed and got a good, long ogle at it. What a beautiful machine.

Now if you can just find a Windjammer fairing for it, all would be well.

Congrats on the new purchase, Thom. I love the new CB1100. I think they're a very beautiful take on the classic UJM concept. 
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Of course, I thought you would approve. It has FINS!

Btw Thom, I'm thinkin' purchasing one of these beauties with the ABS was a smart move. (...though for some reason I'll bet Ian will probably think you've wasted your money on that option!)

great looking bike, i wish they had made the front forks with just a bit more beef in order to balance out that front end a bit with the back, but otherwise i would own one in a heart beat.

I see Honda has two new models based on the 1100 for 2014. New 6 speed gear boxes, updated electronics etc.
The 1100 forum is blowing up with guys modding these bikes. Great platform to play around with.
