I think I may have indicated that would likely be the case. The 18" inch wheels are much better for the mission. The 17's are going to make the bike ponderous to some extent, with bump steer and a tendency to stand up under trail-braking.
The bike is similar to the Thruxton; in an outright contest where top speed is not an issue (below 100 kph, let's say) the Street Cup will prevail.
And did, indeed.
But at the local watering hole, where money spent and brake horsepower are much more important details than actually knowing how to ride well or understanding the role of suspension and tires, the CB1100EX and Street Cup will be wilfully dismissed.
I'm still contemplating the CB1100EX this year and Wisedrum's take on the German evaluation was very helpful.
Danke, I'm sure.
