R9-t vs. Griso vs. CB1100

[nhawk7504_imp]

I met a guy with a Griso and they liked it ok but they were drooling over a person's bike next to them that handled much better. They had some dislikes about it after owning it for a while. Fie first time I rode the 1100 I took it for an extra spin thru some twisties before heading back to the dealer. Having ridden so many other bikes I was having a blast on the 11.

I am bias, of course I am. I am godsmacked that any motorcycle "enthusiast" sees the R9t or the Griso alongside the CB and says that the CB is not the more attractive bike. However, my opinion matters little to anyone else but me.

That is a sharp looking bike. I'm not a big fan of green, but that combo really works.

And fresh from the dealer.
The bike never grabbed me until they came out with the green bike and warm brown seat. Ufdah, that was a eye grabber.
Other green bikes have grabbed my eye since; e.g. the Sunbeam S7. Kinda of a lima bean green, not all that great looking color but boy does it click on that bike.

I gotta find out how you do that.

This ...?

I had that very same Tenni Green Griso with the brown seat. Beautiful, lusty bike. Flaming (literally) POS however. I understand the Guzzi 'character' thing but mine was a total lemon, dealer service and parts availability was a joke, and it was traded in, happily (yet, at the same time, sadly) , on the CB1100.

I've had good luck with parts availability and the ghetto boys have been great on making new maps for her. Not that I had any issues with the mapping. And a couple good dealers near by. But the brand can drive you nuts, especially if you don't have a good dealer close by. And lemons are a total turn off. Sorry you had a bad experience. The CB should be an excellent follow up bike. There are times when mine drives me crazy (seat for example) but I keep coming back to her.
Yes, the full sized picture. Have not noodled that out yet.
