R9-t vs. Griso vs. CB1100

Found the comparison interesting and I fully understand why the CB1100 came in last against those other two. HP means a lot to many riders, even CB riders. I can find plenty of posts here complaining about the dismal HP numbets it produces but to me it's a mute point. No matter what bike one picks, usually there is another that has more HP. My decision to purchase was based on several things, one was price point and two was reliability and ease of repair. I liked the Bonnie, been a fan for decades but ease of service didn't cut it. Price point was there but the availability wasn't. BMW would have been my choice but price wise out of my range. I liked the CB styling, ABS was important to me, ease of home repair was there, reliability is tops in their products, and I could afford it. It's not a BMW but to me the ride and fluid throttle allows me to feel "close enough". It's an adult motorcycle, perfect for guy's in their 50's to feel like they're alive without joining the masses on a cruiser. The more I ride it, the more I like it, that's what matters the most.
