The CB1100 Community Forum

Yeah, I just read that too. I had to write a few comments.

Interesting takes, makes me think. I don't know much about Bonnevilles or Triumph as a whole but I'm going to look and read up. How do the newer Bonnevilles stack up?

And [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=7236&pid=110206]here too.

That article said "chrome plastic tail", what were they referring to, the tail light housing, rear fender, what? I thought both of those were metal. Anyone clarify? Thanks.

The tail light housing is plastic. The rear fender is chromed metal.

There a number of mods available to change the tail light housing, if that's an issue. For me, I just cleaned up the license plate mounting and got the look I wanted.

I just can't stand how every classic styled bike is a cafe racer to these people. It's more of a classic standard roadster

The comments section is depressing. Seems that most people just don't get the purpose of this bike at all. Do so many people really believe that hp/$ is the most important characteristic of a motorcycle?

Unfortunately.

I know it is so sad that so many people think hp is the sum of a motorcycle. I don't mind the cafe racer remarks as that is such a growing segment that has brought fun back to motorcycling.
