The 1100 on the street is likely more than plenty for me to handle. I bet it makes for a great track bike as well.

You nailed it. I spent 4 years with a 1981 CB 750 and as much as I loved the "character" of the bike I was constantly attending to something which needed attention. While my current Bandit may not have the old school appeal of the CB 750 it is so much more reliable and I have no concerns taking it for a few days on little tours. I did not have that confidence in the old CB.
Bikes like the modern classics from Triumph, Yamaha 900, and the Honda CB 1100 give you most of the old school charm of the old bikes along with modern niceties like fuel injection, modern brakes, ABS etc.

I appreciate seeing old bikes still running, but for myself I want modern tech and reliability. Then again, I've never owned an FI bike.
At speed you'll hit a square edged pot hole, first and only thought will be "damn, I need cartridge emulators" rather than "holy crap I hope my wheel's not busted!" You will never see a cast wheeled dirt bike, casts being the reserve of outer extremities in that sport.
