Da*n, that is a really handsome bike. Surprisingly sporty-looking.

Great story, great pics. Great everything.

Superb looking bike. Great to see it out in the muck too!

I remember chirping away about lack of colors for the cb1100 back in '14...red, red, black, or if you really want something different...red. Not here in the U.S. but now there are lots of options and if one really wanted, a new Samurider tank is a po$$ibility.

But this silver has to be my favorite. I know some out there really prefer a good, basic color...like red, for example, but the balance between silver / black seems so appropriate on this RS.

Agreed. The silver is a strong base colour option.


Makes me wonder why Honda didn't consider offering a sort of similar metallic green - not unlike the '12 Moto Guzzi Griso.

lol to the best of my recollection, Honda has never offered a color as different as the Griso green.

Yeah, I know. It might turn heads if they did.

they probably put it on a Fury or NM-4

lol - they could put the NM-4 in camouflage.

Thanks HR, enjoyed the pictures you shared, and your RS looks great in this color scheme.What is your RT/CT ratio ?
(the riding time devided by the time to clean your beauty).
