honest opinions: lowering a CB1100

[pekingduck]

I had a Street Twin for a couple months and thought it was a great bike - light and nimble with a great, responsive powerband. But it was too small for me, almost like too slim.

Glad I hung onto my 2004 Bonnie - never going to sell it.

I also tested the new water-cooled T120s, and power-wise, it has the same overall power, but a way fatter torque curve.

The Bonneville Americas are even heavier than the CB1100 is, about 560 wet. The Street Twin is only 480 wet. Lots of choices these days.
