It seemed kind of rattley, slow, like it didn't want to be bothered, and it ran out of gas during the test ride a couple blocks from the dealer. I parked it in a lot, walked back to the dealer and just got on my Honda and left. The ride again demonstrated Honda's superiority in the mid-size range. The Honda just wanted to go, and it did, serenely.
Hmmm, "rattley, slow"? If you are ever in the west of Canada, please pass by to try out my Moto Guzzi Griso... I really love my "serene" Cb1100 but when I am in the mood of some true hooliganism I take out the Griso.
The Moto Guzzi Griso is an awesome bike.
I was about to sign a purchase order for a 2014 model in a lovely Italian Metallic Green colour, but paused, looked at the greasy sales guy and said I will think more about it for the next two days. I bought the 2014 CB1100. I did not see that coming.
