I'm keen on a CB1100 Banana and am contemplating the RS or EX. It seems that moto journo's like the EX for ride/handling and more authentic retro looks. I've only ridden the RS.

The general use-case is weekend and evening rides to the Norfolk/Suffolk coast (80-mile round trip) and I'm planning on doing some touring in Europe next year to Switzerland and Italy.

I am thinking the RS with tubeless tyres would be a good option, with easier availability and a wider choice of tyres easier to repair.

RS owners, can you tell me why you chose the RS over the EX and EX-owners, any benefits for my use-case I'm missing?

Great forum BTW.

I took the RS mainly for the looks. Driving position may be a bit more relaxed on the EX (nothing that can't be changed with a handlebar riser). Seat comfort is the same. Engine performance is the same. Brakes and tyres are better on the RS. I also thing the rear dampers are better on the RS, but I might be wrong.
