Honda CB1100 RS 2017
Opinions are divided on the RS. For many, it doesn't seem as earthy and honest as the EX, and overall it doesn't seem coherent. But at the end of the day, you don't find any plastic where there should have been metal. The 17-inch rims offer a wider choice of tyres. The standard tyres might not be the best choice for this bike.
Yamaha V-MAX 2017
The big Vmax from Yamaha is a unique bike. This applies to the technical side, with the largest V4 engine in a bike of all time, as well as to the emotional side of riding a Vmax. Few bikes can offer such brute grunt in every riding situation, and even fewer of them are cruisers. Although its stubborn turning behaviour detracts from the riding pleasure, the seating position is quite cramped and the sound could be more indicative of the massive displacement, the propulsion is addictive. The Vmax 1700 is definitely a niche product, but also an absolutely awe-inspiring, unique bike.
