I'm 53, recovering from a rear brake lock-up (my bad), which resulted in a high-side crash. I was in the North ga mountains (on my Bonneville T-100) when i wrecked. I've had a difficult recovery (complications), which makw me think i just want to slow down and ride more conservatively and comfortably from here on out. I think the CB1100 would be perfect. Can anyone compare thw two?
... I don't expect to be in riding consition till Jul-Aug timeframe.
I sold my 2006 Triumph Speed Triple to make room for the CB1100.
The Triumph is (relatively) lighter and more nimble, is absolutely quicker steering, faster going and harder stopping.
The CB1100 will feel a bit like a boat in comparison... but then, it IS lovely sailing and I really enjoy it.
