CB vs. Triumph Speedmaster vs. BMW Cruiser

[Charlie Bravo_imp]

I had two bikes for a long time; an older BMW R1100 RT, and a '13 Honda CB1100. I used the Beemer for a touring machine because of it's comfy riding position, hard luggage, windshield and fairing and the general ease of it going down the road. The Honda was my city bike, and I almost never rode it on the freeway, only short bits to get from here to there, less than ten or so miles, but when it came time to decide which bike to bring to Texas, I thought long and hard on it, and chose the Honda. It's more compact, lighter, more nimble, an all around bike, and it went into the POD easier. I worked for several years past 65 and I wasn't doing much touring anymore, either.
