Riding impressions of the NT1100

[Coyote Chris]

The road tests on Hondas in BIKE are frequently somewhat dismissive. By that, I mean the Hondas are so predictable, reliable, and perfect that they are not exciting. Personally, those traits are exactly what I look for in a bike. There's a certain comfort knowing that your bike is going to get you where you wanna go, everytime!

I dare you to ride a VFR with risers for 5 min and use the words "not exciting"

I phrased that incorrectly. I find Honda's exciting. I was describing them from the point of view of the technogeeks who write for the magazines. I still lust after your "Lady in Red"!

I've found all the Honda/Suzuki/Yamaha and now BMW bikes I've owned have all been exciting.

Really nice review. I would love to take a ride on one.

Here is the rider mag 2022 buyers guide. If I needed a bike, I would spring for the Suzy 1000 and wish it was an 800. Thankfully, I dont need a bike cause all these bikes in the guide are about unobtainium.

For extreme excitement, try riding one of these on a high speed road.

Ooooohhh....a FlexiFlyer! Drafting a big rig on a motorway at 75 MPH on that would definitely be "exciting".

What a difference 7 months make. The Suzuki’s are not only available they are being discounted. My Bking has been a great machine and one day will be joined by one of Suzuki’s liter bikes with all the all the nannies.
