30 years between CB1100s - cb400four_imp - 08-17-2013
Late last week I took delivery of a 1983 CB1100F that I purchased from a fantastic gentleman in New Mexico and subsequently had the bike shipped to the east coast. I'll post a thread on the riding experience comparing these two bikes after I get the older one inspected (some issues with turn signals have to be worked out) and I have a chance to put some miles on it.
For now, here are pics of the bikes!
In the yard

Newer and older, side by side

Which one to ride this afternoon?

Awesome!

Always liked the F. Nice.

Wow, looks awesome. A true collectible. Congrats

Nice. Amazing how the 1983 looks more modern than the 2013.
Honda have worked their magic !

That is a fantastic pair of bikes! I like that color scheme and the dual pipes on the 83.
I guess the 83 makes a bit more power, huh?
RE: 30 years between CB1100s - cb400four_imp - 08-17-2013
Yes, more power (about 108 compared to 82) and higher top speed; it is a bit of a beast compared to the beauty of the 2013 model. The 2013 is certainly a better overall bike, after all, 30 years have passed!
RE: 30 years between CB1100s - PowderToastMan_imp - 08-17-2013
Hard to argue with that; I hardly ever find myself above 4k RPM on the '13 anyway, so that extra 20-some HP wouldn't do me any good
If I was to have a second bike, it'd be a much smaller one. I still love the look of the 900F and 1100F from that era though.
RE: 30 years between CB1100s - The Spaceman_imp - 08-17-2013
Its easy to see the styling cues taken from the F for our bikes. That's a cool idea to get one of each generation.
