Coming Back to CB1100

[rboe]

For me, the bike that fits me better regardless of shaft vs chain, wet vs dry clutch, inline four vs a twin of some sort. On the subjective side, the bikes' looks have to speak to me. Totally irrational of course and it's probably based on models you grew up with and in many cases I think it holds the number one spot in our list of why we buy a particular bike over another.

So get the bike that ticks most of your boxes; if that means you have to have the R nine T AND the CB so be it. I'll add, it sounds like you may be a Moto Guzzi Griso kinda guy - no longer made but new old stock is out there as well as very nice used models.
