From a styling / use standpoint, it really matches up more with the likes of the Triumph Bonneville and the Moto Guzzi V7 series bikes (in some markets the Kawasaki W800 would apply as well). The retro standards if you will.
But from a displacement standpoint, I can see why it would included in this comparison with the R9T and the Griso, even though they aren't exactly retro standards. In the case of those bikes I'm sure that extra performance is nice if you're the type of rider that is actually going to put it to use.
I don't really take much issue with this comparison review. For some, I'm sure that the BMW or the Guzzi are better options. (And for others still, the Bonnie or V7 are going to come out on top for that matter.) For the things that matter to me, the CB1100 is right on the money.
Get out of my head!
