Design Disadvantages of the CB1100

[Capo]

Thessler3, great first post, and thanks for the science behind it all! Triumph also engineers in some dissonance with the 270 degree version of the vertical twin used in the Scrambler and cruiser variants of the Bonnie. Done for 'character' along the lines of Honda twisting the timing on two of the CB1100's cylinders, I suppose. As for the Atlas, I can attest to it's vibratory nature, as it powers my Norton P11, which is a Matchless Reynolds scrambler frame. It is hard to describe the level of vibration, and hard to imagine that journalists of that era described it as a 'mild and acceptable.'

And correct, the rubber mounting came with the 'Isolastic' frame of the Commando, not the Featherbed.
