Cool Ride Report: CB1100s from USA to Argentina.

I thought this was an awesome ride report from a Belguim couple riding north to south on a couple of brand new, nicely outfitted, Honda CB1100EXs. I love ride reports. It's a good test of the new CB machine as well.

it's a shame there aren't more from this board but understandable. ADVrider is chocked full of them. I can live vicariously........ :)

Did they launder their riding suits every day? :o

Mine looked like hell after a week of commuting on pavement.

Awesome. Makes me want a CB1100 even more now... When I buy a new bike it'll be a toss up between that and the Bonneville...

I hear that! Both nice bikes. In fact there is a ride report on ADVrider from a girl from Europe that flew to the USA and rode a leased Bonnie across our great country. Sounds like she had an awesome time as well.

Look in Travellers Rest for plenty of ride reports featuring our beloved SOHCs. Thanks for posting the link I am now following along as well. I rode my CB750 along many of the same roads in Mexico for a month back in 2001.

I've read all those, some more than once, Andy.  ;D

Saw that. I wonder how much it would sell for there? Less than here, one could hope.
