My vote is for the CB1100. I've always wanted a 69-72 (or something like that) CB750 and the CB1100 is like one of those with better looks, FI, and parts that aren't 40 years old. I'll get one used in a few years for cheap.

I've never seen one outside a dealership and I see ads with dealers marking them down quite a bit so I assume they're selling poorly, which is too bad. I think the price is probably too high. If you got it closer to an HD Sportster you might take some of that market?

Is the Speed Triple standard enough? You're not going to find many bikes more fun that could fall into the category.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsKFsce5phw is the best review I've seen of it and has convinced me to not buy one over a CB1100.Nice Sweet Meat posted:To the guy that posted all the HP/Torque stuff: who cares? Motorcycles in this country have gone nuts. Every year the displacements get bigger, and for what? Track days? What if you don't care about that poo poo and don't want a drat car engine on your bike? If you don't like the feeling of 0 to 60 in under three seconds you are a boring soulless person.

Somewhat relevant, just noticed for 2014 there's a CB1100EX: Larger tank, better looking seat (imo), spoked wheels, six speed gearbox (instead of 5), and twin exhausts. It looks even better!

I did a demo ride on a Bonneville as well and liked it plenty but as soon as I got on the highway I knew it wasn't what I wanted as my main bike. If you live somewhere where the top speed limit everywhere is 55 and people drive slow, like in Oregon, you'll be fine. Anything higher than that frankly sucks after too long. Z1000s and similar are much better since you're leaning forward. A UJM style bike is what I'd use if I were going to travel across the country on back roads and avoid highways.
