Touring: CB1100 vs. F800GT

[Cormanus]

Yeah... "A couple of serious tours". There's an understatement if ever there was one. Cormanus may not have as much general motorcycle experience as some folks here, but he has as many CB1100 touring miles (or kilometers) as any of us, or nearly so. He knows this bike.

Kind of you EmptySea.

I'll be interested to see whether Pterodactyl has anything to say about this when he's home and posting again. He's done more kms on his than I have and a lot of it touring. He has the Dart Fly Screen and I confess I've been tempted once or twice. But not having ridden a bike with a windscreen for a serious distance, I just don't know what I'm missing.

My CB turns under 4,000 rpm at the maximum Australian speed limit of 110 kph (68.3 mph).
