defects CB 1100

[Wisedrum]

Rode a California before I brought it back to the dealer after a few kms and months within the warranty of the used bike and took the CB instead. I didn't regret the decision. The Guzzi had real defects. Something with the valves went wrong and he couldn't fix it. Needed a bigger operation. Reason for me to leave the Guzzi theme, although these machines are somehow nice and attractive. I still like them but would never buy one again.

The CB has no defects. It runs well. It is a bike which will fit some but not everyone. I'm not a small guy and can sit pretty on the CB and ride with her on smaller or real long trips over weeks without changing the seat or anything else and don't feel uncomfortable. But this is my impression. The engine always spreads the aura of being reliable and trustful. It never dissapointed me on 67.000km. One of the top aspects motorbikes luckely can have. I like the way it runs. Some don't as the administrator of the German W-forum. He tested the CB when the bike came out only to put her down as being boring with no kick. But he doesn't like inline fours. I think, it is the rider who brings boredom to a motorbike not the other way round. I still enjoy the CB after more than 6 years and don't share the opinions of some riders about the bike. I don't have to.
