I love the tank and the way the engine pokes out on either side, the chrome headers and twin silencers, oh! and the spoked rims.

Like everyone else said not much I don't like. I'm pretty guilty of spending too much time just staring at it. But I really like the outline of my 2013 gas tank they nailed the homage to retro but still some modern angles.

The Motor. I would have bought that by itself.

My favorite visual is when I open the door to the garage and see that gorgeous candy red beast aka my 14 DLX #152 just waiting to go for a rideSmile

Love the '13 cluster.

RE: What's your favorite visual feature of the CB? - Setchman_imp - 05-20-2015

I love everything that has already been mentioned which is why I could never pick just one. It's the combination of all of these visual elements that make this bike so captivating. IMHO, change any one of these things and it's no longer a Honda CB1100.

RE: What's your favorite visual feature of the CB? - Xyzzy_imp - 05-20-2015

I love all of it, of course.

Have you ever taken a serious look at he frame up around the head tube? It is beefy, beautifully executed and steel had a longer fatigue life than aluminium, too. (Check out the triangle behind the head tube - You can probably fit a tool kit up in there!)

+1... As an engineer I can see the hours of thought and design work that went into every inch of my DLX. I'm not taking anything off (except tank decals) and the only additions will be genuine Honda, most likely the rack and removable top case, U-Lock, and of course RLETs. I love every detail on the bike including the tail light and reflectors. I also love the quiet yet very satisfying sound of the beautiful dual mufflers. Blipping the throttle in parking lots and gathering places always turns more heads than the loud bikes, I guess its either an unfamiliar bike sound for youngsters or an old familiar sound from the past for old timers (like me)!!!

How about this work of art on every bike

Did someone mention RLETs?
