      The ole Honda is bad ass, the Suzuki has an almost 'elegant' look to it. Both sweet bikes

        I usually don't like stretched bikes but the 1100 is perfect. I really like the Honda but the 1100 is subtle and stealthy.

              I like 'em both but the Honda looks more stealthy and minimalist.

                I like 'em both, too, but I don't think the Suzk qualifies as a rat bike- too much chrome and polish, and the glossy paint is just wrong.

                      Indeed . TRUE ratbikes have NO chrome or shiny bits , are FLAT black (not glossy) , and are usually pretty dirty , as the owners do as little cleaning/maintaining as they can get away with as that would detract from riding time . Not unheard of to see ratties missing things like shift levers , but have a set of vicegrips in place .
