The CB1100 Community Forum

I can't stop looking at these bikes. I just bought an ATV and a CB1100 or I would have one.

They certainly are interesting and, I bet, a lot of fun to ride. I just find it impossible to take them seriously. Maybe that's the point. You don't.

The salesman at the dealership where I had my CB serviced today had one (his personal bike) that was stretched, with a short exhaust, and drag bars.

They are awesome little bikes. There is a guy around here that has one kitted out with a crash cage and everything to make it into a stunt bike. Hilarious to watch him thrown it around in the parking lots.

They look attractive and their performance is apparently amazing, given the size.

Trouble is, of course, they are SO SMALL. Anyone over five-three would look laughable on one.

I bought a TW200 as my light bike. Nope, not in the Grom's territory but of more practical proportions.

If there's a small woman looking for a ride, the Grom would be perfect.

For some reason, I think that's part of the charm.

By the way, I think the TW200 is just as cool.

Certainly not for my everyday ride, but I'd own one if I could justify the cost and storage requirements

When they first came out you couldn't get one for a long time here in the U.S. They were selling them out before they arrived at the dealerships.

Looks dumb to me, don't know the top speed, but I wouldn't want to do 50+ on those tiny wheels. But some of y'all are braver than I am.

The Grom reminds me of the mini-bike I rode when i was in middle school!
