Yeah, it needs a couple cylinders jutting out the sides at a 45°.

Barry, it was a sort of inside joke about the Guzzi I recently bought, which isn't terribly different, style wise. (Wire spoked front wheel coming soon.)

I have a friend with a Guzzi who admits; the heat from the cylinders really is a bit too much in the middle of an Alabama summer.

Love the CB1100....although the added weight of 4 into 4 is a bit silly. 4 into 2 or 1 would work just fine.

It's funny you should mention that. I got the bike in early September when it was still very hot here. Maybe it's my Kevlar reinforced riding jeans and boots, but I have not been able to feel any engine heat. I even tried holding my legs a foot outside the pegs to compare. I guess if I dressed like RB it might be different.
