Honda CB1100RS VS Triumph Bobber Black
Discussion
Gents,
I have a 2013 CB1100 and love it, super easy in town, comfortable commuter and not a theft target, now I'm in my 50's these are more important than being on the latest ohlin suspension race rep.. it also gets more compliments in the city off other riders than any bike I've owned previous, so it must be a looker.. however its time to get a replacement.
The replacement will be used under 3yrs, under 5k miles.. I keep getting drawn to the Triumph Bobber, love the looks and style but I've never ridden one.. however I keep looking at the CB1100RS, it is similar money, an upgrade from what I already have with the same engine as I already know.. etc
anyone ridden both? any opinions.. what would you choose? or something else entirely I might have missed?

Agreed totally different. I guess I need to take a Bobber out for an afternoon.. the want factor is based purely on looks, the marketing has done it's job.... Head says stick with the CB.. tank range wouldn't bother that much as I don't cover more than 50-60 miles any given day. Covering 2k per year tops..
