I couldn't testify to that as my parents were barely children in the 60s, I was an abstract thought lol Also where I grew up only "big bikes" were Moto Guzzi, MZ, and JAWA. It was only when I came to the city to study that I got introduced to Japanese bikes, and by the time I caught the two-wheel bug, all of them - Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha, Kawasaki - had names written out. So the wings are a new thing for me
'14 CB1100 STD 5 speed
Those are the new badges as seen on the Super Cub, monkey, Trail 125, and possibly others.

Which MZ and Jawa cc did you meet with?
Just priced the later badges, and they are about $68 each! Twice what the CB1100 badges are. Yikes!

Which MZ and Jawa cc did you meet with? They were small capacity as I recall 250-350, not what I'd call a big bike today, but still, the other bikes we'd have around were small mopeds and Vespas, so when a full size framed 2-stroke buzzes by, me a kid just runs behind and tries to breathe in the exhaust smell lol
I'd have to try and google out the exact models, I really don't have an idea

Same, same, but different.
Right you are. Hmmm...Monkey, Super Cub and Trail 125 are so iconic, the Honda name is not needed. Not so our CB1100, I guess.
Some of these are on E-Bay. Some go right over the original logo with a sticky tape. Cool little mods to play with.
