Agreed, that CB1100F (note the CB400F Supersport or CB550F headers) is a gorgeous piece of kit -- as is the CB1100R, which looks like a track bike from a few decades ago. Very cool. Less plastic in this world, I say

DN-01 is flaming hideous, although probably quite nice to ride, automatic transmission would appeal to many (though few would admit it).

OMG, yes. I would seriously, seriously consider purchasing one of those CB1100Fs. I don't think I'd have it as my only bike, but, hmm. Gosh. Hmm! I wonder how much they'll be? Can I chuck that much more on the mortgage?

Sigh.

Oh my...

Finally, a new model to replace my ZRX1200R lust.

Don't worry - it appears to have a "6-speed manual mode can also be used, which gives riders the option of riding with a manual transmission feel"
I wunner what that means.... Simulated gearchanges?

I agree with you on the CB1100R but whoever designed the shape of the CB1100F tank should be shot

We all do, at one point or another.

All it takes is a motorcycle that's just right...

I must disrespectfully disagree with you. It is beautiful.

Also, your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries.

Yes, Hitcher, that's right. He smelled of elderberries. Smelting involves metallurgy.
