You've done the ultimate taste test, and owned two fantastic standard machines that have all the power you'll ever need on the street, and you've found the one with the engine character that speaks to you. I've ridden Meriden Triumphs since a '99 Thunderbird, including the spoked and mag wheeled Bonnies. Very cool, very British character -- and very different from the Swiss watch CB engine. I like the CB more, because my first road bike (and a lot of good memories) were from a '79 CB650, and I like the inline 4 buzz. Buying bikes is emotional, it's not a science. The CB to many is an objectively better bike than the Bonnie -- but so is a CB1000R to all our bikes. We got the CB because of something inexplicable.
You know that's right.
