RE: Triumph Bonnevilles? Show 'em off!

I never appreciated it much then but I really didn't appreciate my CB 550, CB360t, or even my '81 CB650 until much later. The '13s seat is probably the biggest disappointment, it's alright but the breadloaf on the '14 was a better upgrade. But the ABS system was a home run.

Not for me.
After a while, not on the first ride, I get used to the 13s seat
and it doesn't feel as uncomfortable as it seems.
In other words, I sit in. Or the Honda does.
Despite this, I have no comparison to the 14s model.
I've not ridden one 'til today.

The 13s in Germany was offered with ABS and a CBS (Combined Break System).
A very good improvement.
Nevertheless the CBS isn't offered anymore with the 14s CB, something I couldn't
understand, but I don't have to, 'cause I bought a 13s.
