My dealer here in the Portland, OR area sold both of the bikes that they were allocated in the first week. One with a deposit (mine) and the other sold off of the floor. I know that at least as of Friday, there are others available in the area that are not yet spoken for, both non-ABS and ABS models alike.

I would be curious to know how the bike is selling where you live? Hoping this model does well, both for Honda and for the sake of seeing more standard models showing up from other manufacturers in the future.

I must admit, the factory tail rack looks pretty nice. How do those of you who own them like them? Are they as sturdy as they look?

OK, I'll ask the first question.

I have not taken delivery yet so do not have the owner's manual.

What specific Honda oil does the manual specify for the CB1100


When I bought a Honda scooter the dealer said regular Honda oil. It actually used the High Perf. semi-synthetic and they were surprised. So I thought maybe someone with the bike could look.

Thanks.

The Hawk is an awesome bike.

But only to clean it up after riding it home in the grime of the Pacific Northwest.

Thanks ! I will try to contact Honda .

Still been trying to diagnose this issue, last night cleaned my brake rotors (specifically the rear), and viola the noise did not appear on my ride into work today. I'll go for a ride tonight to confirm but I was very surprised...

I have been running Rotella T5 15w40 synthetic blend in my 2017 EX. Sounds quiet and shifts smooth as butter.

So, having never changed the plugs or even take. Them out, at 32k miles and 11 years, I’m guessing it’s time to. My worry is messing up the holes since they’ve been in there so long. The plan so far is to use some penetrating oil, then getting the engine up to operating temperature, and a lot of patience to work them out.

Any other tips?
