I think CAPO summed it up nicely. I too owned a 2007 bonneville,and currently own a 2013 triumph tiger 800 and the cb1100. I never had any problems from mine aside from a slight oil leak when it was new at a crossover line. Just needed a half a turn to seat the crush washer and it was fixed. I agree the bonny seemed to grab more attention. However after i dressed it out the way i wanted,it ended up looking more like a thruxton than a bonnie. But thats whats cool about these bikes,there is so much you can do to personalize them the way you want. I should have kept it drained the fluids and hung on it my wall as garage art. I sold it to my brother inlaw.
Having ownd and ridden both i too think the cb1100 is a better bike. The bonny may have a bit more character but i enjoy riding the cb1100 much better.
In the 20+ years i have been riding i would also agree that the tiger 800 is one of the best bikes i have ever ridden.
