I'm looking to get a 2013, or preferably a 2014, CB1100. Optimally I'd get a new, leftover model, but CycleTrader isn't showing a lot of cheaper 2014s left. Does anyone have any recommendations on where to snag a good CB1100 leftover?

Saw these on their website and am considering them instead of SW motec guards. Anyone tried them? They seem to offer a good bit of protection for idiots like me who fall over for no reason. Thanks

It's T. rex racing.com. They also make crash cages for stunters. They seem well engineered. Only saw one review on Amazon but it was favorable.

IMO Victory made a big mistake by not diversifying into an American Standard, ADV, Sport Tourer, Sport bike producer. The only reason the Japanese survive in this country is that they don't rely on cruisers as their only market place product.

Interesting! Can definitely see the origins of later influence.

'13 silver side covers on my "negra". I'm not 100% sold on the look. Wish the covers were charcoal gray, like Cormanus'.

Anywho.... Whatcha think?

I wanted chrome.
Then, I didn't want chrome.

Read threads on crash bars for a week.

You know what? Everything I have ever purchased from SW Mototech has been good stuff - so that's what got ordered. Thinking they were gloss black..... SURPRISE ! they're flat black. Oh well.

Easy installation.

Now, to look for some highway pegs.

If any of you have thoughts on highway pegs - please don't be shy.

In the mean time, I am trying to discover the correct dimensions to fabricate a backrest that will bolt onto the rear carrier.

Or get one of those tall, pointy sissy bars......

Hi Everyone,
I sold Honda's in the eighties I had both the CB1100 and CB750, I am going to buy a new CB1100 and I can get a good deal on the 2014. My question is this, its going to be a weekend bike maybe to work now and then, do I need the ABS and larger fuel tank in the 2017 or save some money and buy the 2014. Thank you for any input.

Apologies if this has already been discussed, but for those who have replaced their chain and sprockets due to normal wear and tear (and not simply because you wanted to change the gearing),

- How many miles did you get from your original chain and sprockets?
- Did you replace the parts with OE Honda parts? If not, why not? Cost? Perceived quality? Availability?

As a boxer leaps out of his corner ready to engage his opponent at the sound of the bell, so the Jeep suddenly jumped forward almost immediately after the rider sounded his horn. Now he knew that the previously stopped driver crossing from his right had neither saw nor heard him as he approached the intersection. His brain began the speed-of-light calculations for action that most people call instinct. His eyes twitched back and forth, scanning for the information he needed. His left hand pressed forward 0n the hand-grip, moving his bike further left than he had already moved it in reaction to his inexplicable intuition that the vehicle would not remain stopped, now into the opposing and completely empty lane. He snapped his right wrist downward, the throttle rolling counterclockwise in his gloved hand. He also, for reasons still unknown to him, crouched into something resembling a motorcycle racer's "tuck" position, lowering his chest toward the tank and positioning his chin just inches above the handlebar. His bike smoothly rounded the front end of the SUV, now blocking about 3/4 of his lane. He pressed on his right hand, retook his center-left position in the proper lane, and continued true on his route.

He, like any good street motorcyclists would, took no small degree of satisfaction that his intuition and instincts where up to the test just presented and then wondered, like all good street motorcyclists wondered (though seldom aloud), would they be up to the next one?

I was saddened when Honda dropped the CBR600RR, and it seemed like an unnecessary retreat, especially considering their racing heritage. Sales of 600cc race replicas aren't strong anymore, so I suppose it makes business sense.

But this is big news, and speaks to the changing market: http://www.bikesportnews.com/news/news-d...-for-moto2
