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?

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.


RE: Yahoo article on CB1100 - emptysea - 11-01-2015

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.
