AFAIK, it was the US Federal Government that mandated 'always on' headlights for motorcycles, sometime in the 70's (or was it the 80's ?), before that we had the freedom to decide for ourselves...

After the initial 600 mi adjustment, the check/adjust intervals on the CBR250 are 16000 mi. That was one of the selling points of the 250 to me !
An 8000 mi interval on the CB1100 does make me...

IMHO that's a tough one.. I think that both bikes have their own type of charisma, I love the sound of a single-pin 45 degree twin. I know that I could never have lived with a pre-2007 sportster...

Ah, now I make the connection ! It turns out that I've lusted after Guzzi's for quite a while. I was seriously thinking about a big block Le-Mans. There's something about having the 2 cylinders...

I'll be giving up my Speed Triple to make garage space when the CB1100 arrives.
