I'm super stoked for this. I know the price is going to be totally unreasonable, but it's a huge step in the right direction.

also, let's not forget the ADV edition:

Anyone tryout the black rear rack from Alpha Rider (Amazon)? Durability & fitment with a stock seat or Corbin? Half price of a Givi or OEM and is available. I think the black would look pretty good.

How long does it take? How mqny posts do you need?

The trip is scheduled for 5 day along with my friend Stan ('07, BMW, R1200 GS).
We often go for long distance rides, while our wives enjoy "freedom" without us.

Day 1, 1100 km
Was mostly HWY 401 ride to Quebec City. We took off from Toronto at 5 AM and near Kingston, ONT., got caught in heavy rain , so we have to leave 401, and stop on unknown side road. To our surprise we ended up nowhere to hide, and unable to ride due to restricted visibility, we were standing like two mushrooms awaiting rain end. The rain was he**, and invaded us suddenly. After 30 min , we return to 401 and continue riding, hoping for a better weather for the rest of that day. Somewhere before our destination, 50 km before Quebec city, all three broke loose: he**, haven and mother earth, pounding us with never seen before rain...so we stopped on hwy shoulder with 4 way flashers on...visibility through helmet = 20 meters, sea of water.., speed dropped to 40 km/h, there was no sky, just darkness as far as we could see....another 35 min wasted before resuming our ride.
If you think taking shower with full motorcycle gear, including helmet is rain, than you are very wrong, it is just a drizzle.
Finally in a motel, last room... around 6 PM
Hair dryer was running 1/2 a night to dry out Stan's boots and gloves. I just had slightly wet inside of my helmet thanks to my Triumph rain gear and water resistant gloves Klim. No pics this day

Of all the bikes I’ve owned, I like the CB1100 front brakes the best. I’ve had bikes with some pretty impressive hardware, Brembo monoblock, radially mounted, blah blah blah, but it’s the CB with the humble, well-designed axial-mounted caliper that has the best feel when properly bled.

No slack, immediate response and very linear ramp-up. The bike with the second best front brakes was my old CB500x (neither had ABS). I’m thinking Honda must do something with the master cylinder to make the front brake feel so good, and it is frustrating that other bikes with supposedly “better” brakes don’t actually feel any better.

Side note—I feel a similar way about the front forks too. Despite not being inverted, they work better than a number of “fancier” fork setups I’ve had, though they don’t quite stand out as much as the brakes.

This is my family doctor. He and I have been friends and motorcycle buds for 36 years, however this past weekend is the first time we have gone on a trip together. The trip was planned for last year but he had some heart issues and had to cancel the night before. Doc turns 72 next month. He owns A BMW R1200RT, A BMW S1000 whatever Adventure bike and a KTM 1190 something or other. It was my FJR's maiden trip.

I took him over to south east Ohio and northern West Virginia for four days basing out of Marietta. We rode some awesome roads. As a matter of fact today at lunch he commented why would anyone go to North Carolina (where he normally goes) when we have these kind of roads in Ohio only 3 hours from home. I know.. I agree with him. Anyhow, In this pic we had just pulled over to remove rain gear and after stowing the gear in a saddlebag, his bike would not start. Lights would flash, an alarm would go off and then it would go silent. Only to be repeated several times. He was flabbergasted the Beemer wouldn't start and his frustration is evident in the pic, staring at the bike with the what the heck posture of the arms. Turns out he had left the Canbus or something key fob in the pants pocket of the rainsuit when he stowed it in the saddlebag and the bike couldn't read it and thought someone was trying to steal the bike.. hence the lights and alarms. Once the fob was retrieved it started right up.

Twice he also had issues with the hill hold feature, which holds the bike on a hill so it won't roll backwards. when you squeeze the front brake lever hard, it "sets" it so you can't roll back. You have to let out the clutch and give it a lot of gas to overcome the holding brake. he said he thought it was locked up until it finally moved with enough gas lol.

Sometimes, all this complexity is just too much. My bike started with the key everytime, and when I released the brake on a hill and fed in the gas it took right off..no drama.

I just sold my Harley Wide Glide and purchased a used Honda Fury to join the CB1100 in my garage.

Before buying the Fury I searched for and found a Honda Fury forum. I don't want to say which one -- I don't know if there are many, or even any, others, but the differences between that forum and this forum are astounding!

The arguing, the language, and the general lack of respect and decorum on that forum was unbelievable. Maybe most forums are like that, but I have *never* encountered anything but dignified respect, a truly helping attitude, and a feeling of camaraderie on this forum.

I haven't posted much, but I read the postings and have learned much here. The willingness to share information among the members and the level of knowledge those members possess makes this a most enjoyable activity.

So... If anyone can point me to a Fury forum that is anywhere near the quality of this one I would be eternally (maybe not really *eternally*) grateful.

Thanks.

anyone else unable to get to their picture files?

Hello Everyone,

I am a newbie to the world of CB1100s and recently bought a new 2017 CB1100EX and have a few questions that the manual cannot answer. I have owned lots of motorcycles but this is my first chain drive. The chain maintenance is a bit scary, but I want to learn so that basic motorcycle maintenance is not daunting anymore.

Here are my questions...

1. I have only 200 miles on my bike. Do new chains stretch out fast and require adjusting this fast? Should I adjust already?

2. What is the difference between the CB1100CA and the CB1100NA? They have different torques in the manual and it does not specify which bike I have.

3. What is the easiest technique for getting the bike onto the center stand?

I appreciate the help. Thanks in advance!

But I'd rather have the one jdinaz has up for sale at the same price:
