The CB1100 Community Forum

Some of you may remember that after an eye issue, Aug 2018, I sold my CB1100, Sep 2018.

In a moment of insanity, after my wife asked, "so, no more motorcycles", I agreed.

Since a Can-Am Ryker is not really a motorcycle, I had one last year from May-Oct. Fun, but very high RPM cruising RPMs with CVT.

My wife has released me from my promise. Tuesday I rode home a 2022 Triumph Bonneville Street Twin. Yesterday, I took a 90 mile ride to Mt Charleston:

Excellent cornering, 62 MPG, and although a delight to have my face in the wind, it was a tad chilly at 8,500 feet with only a long sleeve Carhartt work shirt over a short sleeve T.

Only 65 HP, compared to CB1100 86 HP, but pulls strong and stock exhaust is throaty, without being obnoxious.

Heading out to Lake Mead within the hour.

Peter,thanks for the emails
Dave, thanks for the visit
LongRanger: Don't expect to ride it to Evergreen and #2 daughter and granddaughter have been flying to visit us here.
Ferret and Cormanus: Keep up the mileage
Popgun: Thanks for your help with diagnostic info when we were working on solving hi/lo/dying RPM issues. That was one VERY long thread!
Max/Peter: Thanks for your input on those issues

Lots of other good people on this forum. Do not intend to slight any, but the above quickly came to mind.

Pdedse, did you have a Street Twin, but not keep it long? I've had no issues with heat from cat or radiator, moving or stopped.

When I have some decent photos, I will post on TriumphRat.net and post a link.

Congrats Doc!!

Sounds good SportsterDoc - glad to read you are back on the two-wheeled saddle.

Looking at the bike's pic and its service equipment, I noticed a multimeter absence....so if some member needs an electrical assistance, how can you help with your mobile service..

Hey how about that! Happy for ya doc, and welcome back!

Correct. I traded in my '14 CB1100 Standard for an end of the year '17 Street Twin. They gave me a fair trade-in price and the ST was nicely discounted as well.


But the ST was an even tighter fit for me than the CB1100, and I missed the heft of the CB for hiway traveling, so I went back to the CB1100 finding a good deal on a '17EX and sold my ST for only $400 less than what I paid for. I only had it for about 3 months, a great looking bike, fun to ride, but as stated a bit too cramped for me.

At the the time, there were issues with how the throttle cables (and others?, can't remember exactly) were routed, that they rubbed against the frame and to watch for wear. I think Triumph corrected the issue for '19 and newer models.

Loved the looks, loved the engine.

I hope you enjoy yours.

If had the money and space for three + bikes, I wouldn't have sold the Street Twin...I just wouldn't have used it for outings lasting more than 3 hours.
