Compared to the CB1100 this is of a whole different level.
Not better, but different.

Liquid cooled, tons of power and modern looking to say the least.
Ow, and it has the engine of the mother of all supersports, the latest R1.

Basic facts that made my jaw drop.
160hp
110nm
210kg wet weight.
ABS, riding modes and traction control

Need I continue? Yes I do:
Cruise Control as stock
optional heated grips
optional windshield
optional handshields
optional comfortseat
optional soft saddlebags
optional topcase
optional 12V outlet
So its a naked with capabilities to transform into a Tracer according to recent Yamaha tradition

Also:
optional quickshifter (only for upshifts)
full lcd display
190 rear tire

To be clear, I love the 'tracer' version of this bike, with all touring accessories, all black.







As some of you know, my experience with my CB has been somewhat troublesome, and I've only owned it since December 2015...

But rest assure, the CB is a keeper, let there be no mistake about that!
I knew this was thé bike I wanted since it first came out and now that I have my dreambike its still amazing to realise I actually own it, so I will not part from it.
I still simply look at the bike for no reason when I'm not riding it...that says enough

The MT-10 just got on top my 2nd bike to own list.
My 2nd bike has to have power more/better wind protection and a little added practicality.

And besides the sheer power, I absolutely adore that weird look the MT-10 has.
Weird, yet beautiful, it oozes tons of aggression and power due to that Decepticon like front end and the windshield actually complements the look, imo.

What do you guys think of this killing machine?

Translated instructions not too helpful. If anyone has installed this, I'd appreciate a little info.

It was a great time, shouldve taken way more pics.





















OH! it was held on the grounds of the old Pabst Brewery...a cool piece of history itself

I'm pretty sure many of you have seen this, but I just found it and wanted to share.

Hi guys, I'm hoping to get my cb1100 this next weekend and I would really appreciate any advice on what to expect in terms of maintenance. The bike is a 2013 model and it has 15k miles. I read that the intervals for valves inspections is every 8k miles. The dealer is charging me 200 dlls for an "inspection" but I doubt it includes valves inspection. Thanks in advance guys!

So, I've been thinking about a fairing for my CB1100. And I've seen a few on the web, like the Emgo in the other thread and some others like it. And they're cool, but I was hoping to find something a little bigger, something that'll push a little more air off.

I've seen the bigger clear plastic ones, but those don't really pull my trigger. Any of you guys know of something?

I love these things.

I just received the PDF file from Goodridge for all their brake parts they list speedbleeders SB125 AND SB125L. Has anyone ever bought these for the CB1100? Is one nipple left hand thread? It shows the clutch takes one of these numbers also.

Saturday about 12:30 pm I saw a 2013 red CB1100 turn left from N Washington onto Montgomery street.

Anybody on this board?

Hayden won his first SBK race this weekend at Sepang. Race 2 was wet and Nicky took the lead early, built a 3 second lead by mid-race. Giugliano passed Rea for 2nd late in the race and cut Hayden's to just over a second but it was too late to catch Nicky and he cruised to his first win. Congrats Nicky.

Came upon these hardbags my dad had in his garage over the weekend. I can't get a name on the manufacturer that makes them other than the built in turn signals which are Grote. I've included some pictures to show the mounting points.

I'm opening this thread to ask for some suggestions as to what to do to get the right mounting hardware. I have the stock exhaust on my '13 STD so I know that creates some issues with not getting too close to exhaust. The hardbag is 13" at it's tallest and 22" long, and about 9" wide. I'd have to get rid of my turn signals to mount, but they come with built in signals on the bottom back that would hopefully work. Not looking to do serious mods on these bags if that's what's needed, but if there's some quick fix to get these going aside from the imminent electricals I'd like to hear some opinions.


Me holding the bag in place for reference. Too close to exhaust, but I think they could be mounted higher despite this pic:
