CB1100 or Harley?

I have owned 11 Harleys since 1991 and have been riding daily for the past 10 years in all weathers (we have lots of rain here in Wales) I carry out my own maintenence and have learned to cope with the dramas of day to day riding; my current Sportster 48 has had the following warranty work; replace ECU, bike broke down and had to be recovered, re-paint rear mudguard (fender) due to rust, re-powdercoat front forks, replace side stand cut out switch (fitted to International models), all this was in the last year, my bike is now out of warranty. I am considering buying a CB 1100.

My thoughts on the choice Honda/HD are as follows:

If you are a leisure rider-enjoy the laid back style ETC of HD.

If you are a daily rider-buy a Jap bike. The Honda cb 1100 looks great, and has excellent build quality.

I understand that Patriotism may affect your choice; I am a British Army veteran and totally respect this.
