I can't help you much with the size question as I'm 5' 8" and the bike fits me fine. I'm also 77 years-old.
I own both a Bonneville and a CB. There is no question in my mind the CB is by far the most refined and smoother of the two.
I don't agree with your comment that the Triumphs are less reliable or built to a lesser standard. They have a pretty enviable reputation for durability and longevity.
But they're both very different so they really can't be compared.
Both bikes put a smile on my face.
I had the Bonneville eight years before I bought the CB and certainly have no plans to part with it.
