The only way I can see that you wouldn't burn your legs on it now and then is to carefully ride with your knees away from the tank (we are talking the left side). That to me makes it a stupid idea...

Enjoy your bike. If it makes you a happy owner, then you have the right one. Just not for me. Of course 10 years from now I may look at your old bike and say, I'd like one of those old bikes.

In Canada the price for a CB1100 is $13600 plus tax. You can buy an old CB900f for as little as $500 to $1000. Put say about $2000 into it and for $3000 you will have a bike that can do 95% of what...

I loved the 2002. Did 9000 miles in 8 months, and a 950 mile day. You had to constantly be aware of your throttle hand because it either wanted to wheelie, or spin the rear tire. Fuel injection...
