I bought a CB1100, ABS brakes and loving it. Now I just handed the keys of the C50 over to a new owner, personally I am pleased that I finally found a buyer for it. I got some good advice here and enjoyed the banter about the Harley buyers.
Good thing you didn't go the Harley route because the bashing is relentless. I have a rally coming up and I don't think half the people will even talk to me :blackeye:I bought a CB1100, ABS brakes and loving it.

I don't get the Harley hate myself. They are the epitome of American motorcycle, they had plenty of rough years but came through it, and they hold their value. Plus, you can go to the hardware store to get nuts and bolts and actually work on them. The C50 is based off the Harley and what little popularity it has is because of it's being a poor man's starter Harley. All the mods are meant to mimic a Harley.Good thing you didn't go the Harley route because the bashing is relentless.

Enjoy your new ride. I saw one at a Harley/Triumph dealer last week. Deja VuI don't get the Harley hate myself.

I bought the C50 because of that plus I can't take the vibration of the Harley. First and last cruiser I'll buy, I've owned sportbikes and CBs most of my riding life. Besides the Bonneville, the CB 1100 is my style of ride. The ABS system along with the factory heated grips will make this a great commuter.
My neighbor just picked up an older Sportster, we will be enjoying some great fall rides. Life is too short to not to buy and ride one's preferred motorcycle, it's really nobody's business or right to bash another man's ride. That should be left on the grammer school playground IMO.
That's not because of what you ride :biglaugh:Good thing you didn't go the Harley route because the bashing is relentless. I have a rally coming up and I don't think half the people will even talk to me :blackeye:
