The CB1100 Community Forum

Check out motorcycledaily.com, August 10 road test of the 2017 CB1100 EX. They really liked it, especially the new "Dual Bending Valve Type" forks.

I don't want sound lazy, but... could you post a link?

Thanks!

The 2017 CB is getting some really good reviews. I'd like to ride one to see just how different it feels from my '13.

I don't dare!!!

Compared to earlier version, 2017 RS is Solid and firm thanks to 17" rim and fat tire (180/17 vs 140/18). Exhaust sounds deeper and a bit louder as well

This has been my experience. I just returned from a 4 day multi state ride on my 2017 CB 1100 EX, everywhere I parked it someone commented on it. It gest alot of attention. The starburst red gas tank is dazzling in the sunlight, the chrome and spoke wheels and the 2 up swept megaphone mufflers are a big hit around here.

But mostly not everyone has one. I dare to say I have the only one in Alabama?

Does Honda sell a different model where you are? The rear tire size listed by Honda is 140/70R-18.

I am experiencing the same thing with mine. It's the spoke wheels and chrome that people notice first. Then they stop and give it a good look over. The question is always the same, "What year is it?" I just smile and tell them it is brand new. A lot of the older guys can't believe it.
