I've tried a lot of big twins since buying my cb1100. Tried the Indian FTR1200, the BMW r9t, the triumph Speed Twin, the yamaha r7, and the Rebel 1100. none of them had anything resembling the feel I get from my CB. If it's not an I4, it's just not gonna do what my CB can do, especially out of a corner.
What a big twin excells at is being punchy and raucous and fun. All those above bikes had that in spades. The best one of all was the Triumph. Overall, it's an awesome feeling and I'm certain this new bike will be great, but it's no replacement for the CB. Its a different direction. I dont think there's anything on the market that can replicate the feeling we get from this bike at all.
