Apologies if you've heard this one before...
Currently have an Nt700 for going on holidays and big day trips( I'm lucky enough to have 2 other bikes, for other stuff) with my wife, who loves going out on the bikes. The nt700 isn't as bad as people make out, IMO, but I fancy a change. We don't do the "South of France in a day" stuff, but we do go up to the far north of Scotland (from near London) in 3 days; sometimes in 2 on the return journey. And when we are in Scotland I do feel the nt700 isn't the best bike to enjoy the roads up there with.
So what I'm after is a bike that I can get enough luggage on, for the 2 of us, but that is also going to be a bit more fun on the lanes, and looks fab.
I had a look at a bonneville, and it was great to ride, but I think a bit too small.
So is the cb1100 the answer.? It certainly looks great (annoyingly I prefer the looks of the 2013, but 6 gears sounds good too)
I look forward to great wisdom from the learned, and thank you in advance.
Cheers
Ian
