Not really sure that I like this direction for the bike.

Interesting. Will be interesting to see how it's recieved, and if it's coming to the states. Certainly an updated look.
Looks like you 1 pipers have something special, as the only model released with that exhaust system.
I like it. I might would rather have my current tank on it and I would have to change out the handlebars. But radial brakes, nice shocks, dual exhaust...
Not getting one though; I'll keep my '13.
The interesting conflict here. They are making it more sporty, which is the trend in many bikes these days, such as the Thruxton, Scrambler, etc...and what many of you do to your own CB- but on the other hand the new fancy suspension, dual pipes, and whatever other changes are going to increase the cost and weight, 2 of the bigger things that limited the original U.S. sales.
I'm going to take a guess and say that they wouldn't put lipstick on a pig though- and have probably increased HP and response on this model. If they left the power and feel as it, not backing up the look, well....
Tires look wider to me.
I like the wheels and tires, and the looking-bigger tank. The franken-suspension with the radial calipers bolted onto still-not-USD forks though...WTF is happening there? I'd wager our bikes will perform just as well with the addition of some racetech bits in the front forks. Not upspec enough to be an RNineT killer, but that's the look they're going for.
Here is the first video of today's CB1100 presentation:

So I think, at least in Europe it will be continued. As they show it that early in all the shows, it makes me think, it has some future.
It looks a lot more muscular and less refined. I still like it. I imagine it will attract a <cough, couch> younger <cough> crowd.
Interesting, but I have what I have and am very happy with it.
Gives some interesting pieces to snag for our existing CB'S. I may puck up one now those factory LED headlight setups when they become available.
