Making enquiries...
Hi people! I am not yet a CB1100 owner but have started looking as a possibility so am here to see if I can learn a thing or two about them. 64 yrs old, riding since 16. Current bike 2017 Triumph Street Twin; before that 2010 Aplilia Tuono 1000R, before that 2012 Triumph Tiger 1050. etc, etc. Really wish I could find the right bike.. Street Twin was going to be my "last bike" (ever heard that before??) ... but I'm finding it a bit ho-hum after the Tuono & Tiger...

G'day Rider and welcome to the forum. We've heard, 'this is my last bike' any number of times; but, hey, they're only bikes. Right?

Have a look around the forum and ask questions. There's plenty of bright ideas here.

Hello Howdy and welcome to the forum

The bad news: a CB 1100 will seem ho hum next to a Tuono 1000R and Tiger 1050

The good news.. It will seem like a rocket next to the Street Twin

The really good news: It's better looking than all of them Big Grin

Welcome Rider!

What is your opinion of the Triumph Tiger? There are a couple of new/leftover 2015/2016s around here available at pretty steep discounts.
