The smooth power delivery can be attributed to the 4 cylinder engine. You would appreciate it even more on a long trip. Have fun!
While many inline-4 engines tend to be more peaky in nature, delivering most of their power higher up in the RPM range as you approach the redline, the CB1100's engine was specifically tuned to provide broad, flat, power delivery with plenty of torque down low. That is what makes this motorcycle so smooth. Not that you would have a need to do so, but on a flat surface you can launch the CB1100 solely using the clutch with no throttle input required at all.
At this stage of the game identifying the bike that you feel the most comfortable with, whatever bike that happens to be, is important. While the CB'1100's power delivery is indeed smooth, things like the weight and size (the seat hight and the overall ergonomics) of the motorcycle are important factors to pay attention to. You will want to be comfortable with all of these things when you start to expand your street selection. By the way, while the CB1100 is smooth, it's not smooth on it's own, someone still has to provide smooth inputs - nicely done. Stay safe, good luck, and always ride as if no one else on the road can see you (at least never assume that they do see you).
Your confidence is obviously improving. Hondas in general don't do anything wierd or unexpected. You said "refined", absolutely spot on observation!
Getting more comfortable and increasing distance broadening your comfort zone as always thank you for sharing with us the community this amazing journey. I love rumble and feel of a Harley the most, but I have ridden CB900F before simular to that and it can seriously eat up the miles comfortably
Dang girl, you're rocking the Honda big time. So smooth great job. We love watching your progress.
Thank you!!!! That was a fun bike. Thanks for watching!
You’re coming along very good as a beginner. Keep up the good work
I bought the same bike for my first bike a few weeks back. Definently think the CB1100 is better than most of the HDs out there, in just about every metric. Only thing HDs have on the CB is that two stroke sound...though I have an Arrow exhaust with the db reducer removed and it sounds fantastic at higher revs...still not obnoxiously loud at all.
This is my dream bike. You just made my day dear. Thank you.
LOVE this bike!! So glad you enjoyed it!
Good job! I have that exact bike. Enjoyed your prospective. Tell Jon, we're still waiting on the wheelie tutorial.
My wife just bought a 2014 CB1100 this weekend and she loves it...so do I!!
I'm jealous. I haven't had the opportunity to ride one yet. Thanks for the review.
Just stumbled upon your channel. You have my exact first and second bikes, red sportster and black cb1100, I’m hooked on the cb now! My sporty rumbles with a sic pipe but the smooth ride and power of the cb has me! Lol! Great to see one of my fellow female riders on the cb! Have fun!
In this review you nailed it. I had the same impressions. I like that you’re coming at it from a different angle being a learner (although you’re no doubt beyond that now). I have one of these bikes. To me it’s a perfect forgiving learner bike except for the weight…the weight won’t forgive you if you don’t respect it…great review and video.
Doing great! That bike reminds me of my first Street bike. 1978 ( I think) cb750. I bought it out of a guys barn. It was running great the same day. Feeling nostalgic lol
Your doing good , just take your time , everybody learns at there own pace .
I just got this exact bike. This is bike # 75 in my lifetime. The motor is a masterpiece. And razor sharp handling. I put 200 miles my first weekend of having it.
What’s great is you are progressing while use a ton of a different bikes. Once you dial in on the “one” and ride it all the time then the learning grows exponentially
I agree on the gear Indicator and you’re doing awesome
It makes it so nice to see which gear you're in. Thank you!!!
Jackie's Moto Garage sure does and your welcome
Awesome bike, doing lot better can see progression for sure.
Thumbs up for the intro, the nostalgia throwback music. LOL.
Jackie..great job! 👍
Jackie doing very well on that Honda 🇦🇺👍👍
Thank you!!!
Everyone says this bike is sooo smooth definitely the bike for me and my girlfriend to go for a cruise in I think!!! Cheers from Australia
I have exact same bike and im wondering im my beginner wife can handle it. Your video encouraged us that she can handle it...great video!
This was one of my all time favorite bikes! I would say yes! All she needs to do is have confidence in herself and listen to her teacher.
Love the Retro look looks like a super smooth bike would love to own one ! Jackie you are very lucky you get to ride all these different bikes ! I am Jealous.
Just bought one last week great bike
There's only one bike left one now: Honda CBX. That's the ultimate motorcycle to me. Model years '79-'80. Around 1050cc, 6-cylinders, 24-valves, and looks to die for. The best paint job is red.
Had to go look that up. That bike is awesome looking!! Thanks for watching!
and sounds like a F1 car!
and sounds like a F1 car!
Andrew Piatek CBX 1000’s are awesome bikes. I have always loved them
I took delivery of a retro-custom 1150 CBX last year

Nice video. It maybe just me, but with the red and chrome, it looks much better
I own that Honda CB1100. It’s a terrific bike.
It really is!!! I absolutely love it. I was really blown away by it. Thanks for watching!!
Nice work.
Jackie great stuff 🖤🇦🇺👍👍
That bike was a blast!
Been driving the cb1100 for three years it is easy and comfortable. Also inexpensive but not cheap
I just bought the 2017 cb1100 last weekend. No miles on it yet. I havent drove it yet, but I did sit on it and was almost flat foot. I'm 5'6" the seat height was the only thing I was a little concerned about since I'm short. Everything else about the bike is awesome.
Congratulations on your purchase! I'm 5'5" and didn't have an issue. You're going to love it!!
@@JackiesMotoGarage I was curious of how tall you were but i didn't want to ask. And thank you!
You've came a long way .
Thank you!!!
TBH I Wouldn't normally bother watching a beginner vlog (no pffence) however i did on this occasion and quite enjoyed it. No BS.Ride safe 👍 ❤️
Inline 4 is the favorite choice for me - all the way. I LOVE my inline 4 on my 1000cc Kawasaki Versys. Congrats for handeling this big Honda so well :o)
The Versys 1000 is an awesome bike.
@@LTLT900 Thank you! Absolutely! I LOVE it!
@@hanszimmer4679 I've ridden a couple of them and they just go where ever you point them at any lean angle. And very comfortable too.
@@LTLT900 I couldn´t agree more! :o)
Actually, for a smooth light and nimble beginning bike(almost feels like an electric bike and a bit boring engine characters wise) try out a street triple.
A good cruiser to try if you get a chance is the Honda 1300 vtx. They are inexpensive and problem free.
If I just show up at your house, can I test ride all the bikes too? Lol. KIDDING...kind of. So cool to see improvement in your skillset every time you post a video! Also, I've been wanting to convert an older Honda CB into a cafe racer. One day. Until then, ride safe!
🤣🤣🤣 Come on down!! Beginner motorcycle rider party even though you are probably streets ahead!
I'm pretty spo I'll left over here. It's Jon's fault!
Also, that sounds awesome!!! I love everything retro and cafe racer style!
Honda’s are the way to go best bikes on the road
It was so much fun!! So much to like about it. Thanks for watching!
You don't use your blinkers when turning ?
I just accidentally jump on ur channel and from my perspective, and i have 3 bikes, its an super cool video just from a simple reason that you are so simple and honest in your words and explanations that ypu sound just like little kid. pls do not take this as an offend or something, its actually an impression
My wife is learning to ride but I still like her behind me on trips for one reason four eyes are better than two
Good point!! When he's on a bike he's usually in front. Thanks for watching!
What I want to know is....was it smooth? I'm not sure if you mentioned it.😂
Three quarters of the way through the vid I thought I must write and tell her how impressed I am with the non stalling starts and then...🤔
I think you need to practice your starts on your Triumph because that's the Bike you seem to struggle most with. Once you've mastered pulling away on that you shouldn't ever stall again. Re watch your vids, as you're letting the clutch out your right wrist isn't turning at all. It'll come to you with practice.😀
You can make the Honda sound better with performance exhaust or a free flow slip on muffler. Hondas are very smooth running, Harleys vibrate. But that's one of the attractions of Harleys. I like the look of CB1100 a lot. Except for the engine it looks a lot like the 1971 CB350 I had way back when. The CB1100 will out perform the Sportster at speed, and highway cruising. You were doing really good with the clutch and gas starting from a stop until you began to talk about it. I think you are getting it down without thinking about it. When you talked about it you started thinking about it instead of just feeling it. "You've come a long way baby" to quote a 1960's cigarette ad. In a short time you'll be riding for hours. Then you can tell Jon you want Goldwing Tour or CVO Road Glide Limited touring bike! Ha! Ha! Ha!
How tall are you, just wondering how well this bike is for short riders?
can you get an external mic? we'll be able to hear what the bike sounds like while your riding :D
Is it quiet and good for commuting for long distances?
I like to call the sound and feel of that honda as polite.
That is perfect! Best description. Thanks for watching!!
I might have to use that if I do a other video with the CB1100 if that's okay! I'll quote you on it 😁
@@JackiesMotoGarage Okay, cool!
how tall are u..and insame ?felt heavy ?
Honda’s are great bikes, I have a Sportster as well but the Honda has a lot more power. The power is deceptive.
Does anyone know where to get the rear fender eliminator
What kind of gloves are those you wear? They seem comfy.
They are from Rebel Reaper!
This bike is a Huge step/Leap Above any H-D
How tall and inseam?
Not just a beginner bike as it fits many lifestyles. Power delivery is very smooth. A very comfortable machine. Just add a marlin wind screen. Dart Flyscreens - Marlin flyscreen

Love from Pakistan
3:30 - "I don't think I have ever ridden a bike quite like this before....this bike is very smooth...extremely smooth.......... " well it's a Honda, period. 🙂 Enjoy
Honda is the best motorcycle manufacturer in the world. There are more expensive brands, but Honda quality and reliability is unparalleled.
You only think that because Honda keeps telling you that. It's their marketing strategy.
Smooth....👌

Like butter...🤣

Please contact "doodle on a motorcycle" so she can see your video, i sent her a message to watch your husband's video on the cb 1100, and I believe your video would also, possibly get her to just try one ride, but they are also getting harder to find. Thankyou for your video, your ride was comfortable, and very smooth. That bike is incredible. It rides, and handles so smooth.Thanks again..
We just gotta get her back to AZ so she can come try it out!! I absolutely loved this bike! Thanks for watching!
I was subbed to Doodle a couple of years ago but got tired of her sexist comments, as in always slagging off male riders. Given the examples she gave some instances may have been justified but almost every video was imbued with some form of bias. And my OCD couldn't cope with her gear changes, as in never letting off the throttle when changing. Clunks and rev over-run abounded.
Please, which country in Europe , I can buy a new one a Honda EX1100 RS ? I need a help to have contact with a concessional Honda.
Spain- France -Germany-Belgique - Italy are easier for me .
Thanks a lot !
You deserve better than cheesy '80s infomercial theme music.
🤣🤣🤣 Oh my goodness you hit the nail on the head. This is exactly what I thought of too!!
Jon picked the music, but I might have to have him change it.
It was ok for a few months but now it has to go
I need you’re help Jackie
I’m 6’ 155 lbs virgin and I can get this bike for $4300
Is this my first bike?
I'd say you could do it! This bike is still one of my all time favorites.
@@JackiesMotoGarage
My uncle said the same and it’s a beautiful bike
At least I think so!
Thanks!!
How about turn signals,stop sings,ask your instruktor to give you your money back and make shure that insurance company does not have access to this video.
Check out MC Rider instructors videos,lot to learn.
Good luck.
Turn signals are definitely something I need to remember to use, but I ALWAYS stop at so signs. Thanks for looking out and for watching! I have heard of mc rider. I appreciate the suggestion.
You are going about the rights way you dont want anything to detour your confidence oh I dont proof read my comments my phone add libs without me catching it sometimes so if my comments dont make good sense blame it on android you're a very good mentor for my wife and other beginner riders if they tag along with you they will soon be driving cross country I cant remember when I first learned to ride
Def not a first bike. Heavy. Lots of power especially taking off. Heavy in a turn. REALLY strong brakes. I test rode one and love it but it's not a beginner bike. FZ07 maybe?
Anything is better than a Harley
That's just stinking thinking 🙃
Please get a real riding jacket and gloves.
Use your turn signals to
We actually just went the other day to try gear on! I was able to figure out some sizes, but they had little in stock so I have to order it online. Thanks for the reminder on the turn signal! That's one of those things I need to remember.
@@JackiesMotoGarage if possible, watch fortnine's video on beginner riding gear and how to spot fake gear before you buy. Ryan's advice is usually spot on.
You look gorgeous on the red thruxton. It is made for you... 🤔 🤩
Bagger Killa riding rice. Lol
🤣 Thank you!!!
