I have a '13 CB and two modern Bonnies. I know these bikes compete in the same market segment, and on specs, the CB wins handily. But I still love the Bonneville for it's nimble handling, vintage style and characterful engine. The Britishness of the bike lends it a very different character than the CB. And the customization potential is far greater, and at a more reasonable cost, than the CB. The Honda is the 'better' bike. But that doesn't make it better for everyone. Try them both, buy what you like best.
