fuel light???

I usually fill up at around 180 - 210 miles, but I only put in around 3 gallons then.

You may get your wish. Honda has been teasing folks at motorcycle shows with a CB1100 prototype. It's the retro air cooled inline 4 engine. Until recently, I figured it was one of those cool standard bikes that might eventually be seen in Europe and Asia, but maybe there's hope. The other day I was emailed a picture of this elusive CB1100 wearing manufacturers plates in California. Keep your fingers crossed!

My main gripe about highway riding is its too boring the the roads too straight:P

My CX500 sounded like it was doing a grand prix at 80mph (CX500s actually have a wonderful sounding engine for an old UJM, sounds like a ducati).

My bandit was nearly silent other than wind noise at 80 mph, I could have easily done a SS1000 on the bandit (I did pull 600 miles in one day on it).
