RE: New (to me) Deluxe - HERE! - peterbaron - 08-10-2021 How many DLXs were made, do we have any numbers, only US market? Perhaps Cormanus can shed some light ? RE: New (to me) Deluxe - HERE! - the Ferret - 08-10-2021 I think we figured about 400 if memory serves me. I know they were all sold out by April 2014 RE: New (to me) Deluxe - HERE! - Cormanus - 08-10-2021 (08-09-2021, 10:19 PM)Beemer Guy_imp Wrote:(08-09-2021, 09:49 PM)tommymck_imp Wrote: Looks great! In this and your previous thread, I don't think I ever saw what kind of Beemer you had? I wonder whether this is the bike that is now owned by peterbaron?

Japan had 2014 models with 5 speeds?That is correct While I don't doubt the bike was manufactured in 2014, it is a 5-speed and has 2010-2013 gauges. I doubt very much it is a special Japanese-only version. What Ferret said about the number of DLX models sent to the US. For a long time we thought 300, but then someone turned up with #303 and blew that theory out of the water. Maybe 400 is optimistic.

Mine will be on the road soon, I hope. Another DLX that was on its way to the rust-bucket pile, but to me, definitely worth saving. But mine is a 6 speed version, as I thought all were. RE: New (to me) Deluxe - HERE! - Cormanus - 08-10-2021 Michael, all DLX and EX CB1100 models are 6 speed. It is only the standards manufactured between 2010 and 2013 (and maybe 2014 in tod.branko's case) that are 5 speed. New (to me) Deluxe - HERE! - tod.branko_imp - 08-10-2021 5 speed are the fastest ![]() '14 CB1100 STD 5 speed RE: New (to me) Deluxe - HERE! - Frulk_imp - 08-10-2021 There’s a very small number of CB riders skilled enough to do what needs to be done with the bike with 5 gears. The rest need 6.
