I'm really not a fan of the Bonnie except for the thruxton. They are ugly as heck and they went real cheap on alot of parts. I had an 09 triumph America which had plastic fenders, cheap laquer coated forks which peeled. The fake Carb covers with a really cheap plastic, wires not neatly tied up, just hanging all over. The bike was all plastic and cheap feeling. This cb1100 we have is put together real nice and looks great. The only thing I don't like is that it should have gone with modern tire sizes and no speed limiter. I'm OK with it all, more and more I have to understand what I really have. I got rid of my naked sport bike because I wanted a more relaxed ride and something with some cool factor and heritage. I guess I'm still used to that sport bike speed, lol. My 2013 Z1000 was an animal compared to the CB so I'm still adjusting. Nobody ever stopped to look at my Z1000, the other day I couldn't even get near my bike because of all the old timers gathered around my bike talking about the old days.
