Coming Back to CB1100

[Frulk_imp]

You already owned the 2014 version of the CB so there isn't much I could advise you on there. At one time you had multiple bikes and made the decision to let the CB go instead of something else. That should tell you something. I like the R9T and have sat on the Scrambler/Café/ and a couple of other versions/derivatives they currently crank out (but have never ridden one). Chances are I'd like it, a lot, as I like all brands and styles of motorcycles in general (and air cooled motors in particular).

I would just point out the following:

1) Whatever version you would get would you leave it stock? If not...
2) Would the aftermarket support turning it into whatever vision you have?
3) Have you looked at the ownership cost difference in maintenance? You may or may not care about this.
4) Ease of accessing that maintenance when required (location/distance availability of a BMW dealer). Say you have a falling out....what's the NEXT nearest BMW dealer?

I like this paint scheme a lot and mentioned in another thread had this a painted to match bullet (café) style fairing on it I might have done something very impulsive. Also liked the bone stock version from a year or two ago of the R9T with the old BMW throw back grey paint.
