.... In fact, even though I'm sure i'm wrong, the bike looks smaller than the DLX.....
Aesthetics aside, sitting on them back-to-back, did you happen to notice any differences in the seating position or ergonomics in general or would you say in that regard they are virtually interchangable? I'm hoping the '17 is a little more inviting for the taller rider. I've always liked the new CB's, they just feel a lot smaller to me when I've sat on one vs. the W650's or Bonnie's that I've owned. On the design side, they seem to be moving it back to the 60's vs the 70's which strangely is just what Triumph did with the Bonneville right before it took off. If you look at a 2002 Bonnie it was a lot more 70's than the very 60's T100's that came out a few years later.
