Funny - For myself, I would rent anything but the CB ... to reinforce why the CB is a fantastic bike in the first place after riding the others.

Of course, that line of thought could back fire if something sweeter and with shaft comes along.

The CB1100 makes a great bike for touring in Europe! In 2014 I rented a 2013 CB1100 ABS for a day trip from the south side of Stuttgart through the Black Forest and back again. That was my first European ride and first ride on a CB1100. I liked it worlds better than the Moto Guzzi V7 I took from Stuttgart through Austria and Slovenia the next year.

Edelweiss is now renting BMW, Triumph, and HD bikes from its Meiming, Austria location. Rental includes insurance and is very reasonable ($110-$150/day, depending on model).

Yes, no doubt the CB would be.

In regards to the V7: Great looking bike, solid build, nostalgic in its own rite, shaft and good intentions. But in general, it can't. I really wished it could.

I did too. The engine was wonderful. Great character and gobs of torque. However the front brake was wooden and the rear brake locked up easily. But I really objected to the way it handled. Upon tipping in, you had to maintain pressure on the inside bar to keep it from leaning over even more...the opposite of how most motorcycles behave, where more pressure on the inside bar gives more lean angle.

Nice, sunny, crisp pics of the riding folks in the Alps. Who is the dude in the full-face helmet?

My V7 experience was slightly different. I do recall your experience into the turns, but I guess I adapted well enough. What I recall most was the essence of running out of steam too quickly and this was on rolling back roads, so maybe 60 mph. I do understand power is limited to sub-50 hp for the earlier models, but I have ridden lesser bikes with more get-up and go. I really liked the bike, tons of character, but had wring it more than expected. It could also be me: I am likely too tall for the V7, and sometimes I think for the CB. But the CB rides much differently for sure.

lol I've not ridden the V7 variant, but I did ride it's predecessor the Breva 750. First thought.. "where's the power?" ...... second thought "where's the brakes?".

[LongRanger_imp]

I owned two V7's and now of course my CB. I'm too tall for each of them, but I'm finding that I'm too tall for any bike that appeals to me. Just have to make do. I agree with Stichill's and ferret's observations about these bikes, but still, I really found my Guzzi's to be well suited for the roads around here.
