I want the cb1300 now, but by the time we can get it in the states it will have been out for 5 years and we will only be able to get it in f'ing black.

I really want the w800 but like most interesting bikes we don't get it in the us of a  :(

they nailed the new "old" look better than triumph or the cb1100. If honda just put that kit that makes the 1100 look like the 750 on every bike then I could get down with it.

     CB1100, I like it, it's close to classic style.
They could have nailed it with spoke wheels, too bad.
     I really like that sleek tail light. And the seat looks like what we are trying to accomplish with an electric knife,wonder if that'll fit on a 550?
      I do think that a chrome passenger grab bar around the back of the would have been appropriate and enhance the classic style, same thing with the front fender, why an 80's style fender when they could have been spot on with a mid 70's style? 
       So close... at least they tried. It still looks enough like something I would like to own.

I'm with you RB. The dual exhaust is a big improvement, but it needs wire wheels to finish the look. I think it also needs about 3 more inches on that front fender.

Saw it today in person and am even more impressed. Tank looks great! Hard to get a decent picture with everyone flocking around it...

When it warms up, you should ride up there on your K6 and take the 1100 for a test ride. [assuming they still have one]

I took my K8 to my local Honda dealer last month but they didnt have one.

I don't think they're supposed to hit dealer showrooms until sometime in March.

How difficult could it really be to offer all of those colors here as ONLY the tank gets a different color!
Perhaps you could special order another tank color with a new purchase?

Is there anything more fun than riding? They are between your legs and are quiet when you turn them off.

Some colours have coded panels as well, not that that matters.
