 I lol,do when I read soon HD will run out of options..back a bunch of posts.
 Maybe Honda isn't making the CB 1100 anymore...just selling off what is still left in inventory

Toytuff has a nice CBX refresh going on what started as a nice example of the late faired CBX ('82). I would not mind having one like that if I could afford it. The CB1100, yeah I would even consider it, but it is less affordable than a nice CBX. The CBX would probably be a faster bike hands down. 
But you better be mechanically adept to maintain the six cylinder beast...or, have deep pockets ($) and be good friends with a skilled mechanic who can do the work for you if you aren't able.

(Edit corrected CB900 references to CBX...)

Six cylinder? CBX1000 surely you mean.

That's a bit disappointing, not much HP, and not much torque either.

that ride report was dissapointing too.... thought aussie journos were bit more mean... quite a bit of %$$ licking going on there.

i think i finally understood whats bugging me with this CB1100. It doesnt even know replica of WHAT bike its trying to be. CB750K? CB750-F DOHC? CB900? SevenFifty? Lost in time.

Just look how much leaner lines this one's got.... They only needed to pull out the old tooling and manufacture the same tank/side panels/tail combo and bingo. IMHO

"%$$ Licking"? In a motorcycle magazine that relies on Honda's advertising dollars? Unheard of!

Yes you are correct;  guess that Ambien is causing memory loss after all...
I will fix that error...

It looks as if Honda is going to bring it to the states. Wow! I've been wanting this bike since it was shown in Tokyo a few years ago. Surprisingly, to me, the price is reasonable. I just hope that my compatriots can get past our V-twin-centric view of motorcycles and justify Honda's decision to bring it here.

So where will I park a fifth motorcycle?

Glad to hear it will now be sold in the U.S. but why is the engine black?   The Australian version has a silver engine
and it looks WAY better.  I'd have to see one in person, but the black engine is a turn off as far as I'm concerned

I like the silver engine as well, and why the hell is it only in red!?

[oldbob]

True, the silver motor looks better. I'll probably buy one anyway. If I tire of the black finish, I can probably strip and paint the motor. And if I really want to throw money at it, there is a beautiful after-market 4-into-4 exhaust that I have seen in photos.
