How much torque did the early 1000 have? The cb1100 makes like 60ft lbs at 2 or 3k. It’s not much of a revver. Think they designed the motor as more of a cruiser.

That early 80’s cb100f makes about 108hp where this modern / fuel injected version makes only 82hp. I can’t believe that.

And… I’m with you on the color scheme. It’d be cool to own both an old one and this new one.

I thought I had good attention to detail and would be able to wrench an older bike. I’ve come to realize that I’m impatient, I break shit, lose shit and get annoyed too easily. I don’t mind bolting on an accessory here and there but then I went to be done and riding.
When I did my exhaust, I dropped the bike twice and totally fucked the oil cooler on my Bonnie.

Clint Eastwood once said in Dirty Harry “Man’s got to know his limitations.”
