Cb1100 handling (geometry questions)
#18
Wait

There's a link to the maxton setup.. I'll have to search that when I'm not on my smartphone..

I was glad to hear the cb would continue with some addition options.. I love what triumph has done...

I'll be honest, while I love the CB for what it is, I was worried that Honda might pull back on it.. The main problem I saw was price. The CB when new from a dealer wasn't cheap. It's worth it, but that's my opinion. There are other bikes that can do more in the same price point (it's why the Ducati Sports classic line faded ). Triumph did it with the thruxton i.e. Kept it going and is now stepping it up. Plus you have the new xsr900 Yamaha which is a classic inspired fz09 where you can select different fuel maps on the fly, from highway/cruise to hooligan...

Since I have kids and others bikes (thought the number dropped significantly since getting the CB) I found a 2013 with 1k miles, nicely modified already (cosmetically), for less than 1/2 of a new one.. While the 2013 has the smaller tank and a 5 speed, it left me a fair bit left over to modify to my tastes..
