Reactions to the CB1100 elsewhere...

I looked at the V7 and Bonnie as well. For me, the V7 and Bonnie are much more apples to apples than the Bonnie to CB and the V7 wins hands down. The visceral experience of the Guzzi is something that must be experienced. It's easy for me to see how someone can become enthralled with that engine combined with Augostino pipes. Makes me smile thinking about it. But beyond the label of Retro, the V7 and CB are very different bikes.
