How old do you think CagerOnTwoWheels is?

[Greg_imp]

Cager, if you hang around you'll probably find yourself being sucked in. Just because you don't (yet) own a CB1100 is no excuse.

Your comic sensibilities fit right in here.

I too have watched several of his videos and find them informative and hilarious at the same time. Wasnt Cager on 2 wheels the one who got a bumble bee or something in his helmet one time and went ballistic?

I did not go ballistic! I just kinda was slightly upset. (very nearly panicked and screamed like a little girl!).

I won't really have anything elso to add to this forum, though - I only rode the CB1100 for that short while.
So many bikes, so little money

On the other hand, congrats to all the owners - you got awesome bikes that just ooze quality! (and fortunatly, not oil). What do you guys think of the updates for the cb1100 in 2014?

Actually we have a sub-forum dedicated to other bikes. Based on the sheer number of bikes that you are able to test ride, your input on the topic would certainly be valued.

I think that the 6-speed transmission would be nice to have, especially for those that log lots of highway miles. Also, the improved instrumentation functionality is pretty cool, but the styling of the new cockpit reminds me more of what you would find in a Honda automobile v.s. the classic look found previously on the bike, which is weird since Honda appeared to be shooting for even more of a retro look with the new model. In addition, the new DLX gained 30 lbs. over the original model and it looks the part to my eye. The lines have become a little too porky for me.

Not everyone feels the same way, and Honda made these changes based on market feedback, which I think is a good thing. I simply prefer the looks of the original model and am glad that I had an opportunity to purchase a 2013 standard before Honda changed things up.

I have not noticed the bike not wanting to get back up after dropping into a corner, have any of you folks?

I think it's tire wear or tire pressure being off. Gut feeling is that is not normal behavior.

Other than that niggle; pretty much how I feel about the bike.

I'm with Guth on this one. I would love the six speed on the highway, and wish my pipes were chrome (keeping the 4-1, or perhaps 4-2 on the same side) but overall I'm happier with my '13. Particularly the black engine, '13 tank, and simpler electronic bits. I have an Acura for when I want to drive a space ship.

Hi Cager and all,

So funny to read about and from you here!
I saw your video review about the CB1100 long time before I joined here. You can say your review brought me to the to the decision to go for the CB1100. And yes, I have similar emotions like you - every day :-D

Precisely. I wouldn't change my bike for one of the new ones. I think the changes were a reaction to pep up 'new sales' rather thana reaction to customer feedback (who did they supposedly ask?)

I think they went in the wrong direction by 'modernising' the bike, when the original project hit the nail on the head. We wanted a retro machine true to the original design brief, not a CB1000 with some retro clothing....

I'm guessing that Honda managed to obtain plenty of feedback since first releasing the CB1100. I know that I received a feedback survey card after purchasing mine. Add in the plethora of feedback available on the internet and I'm sure that Honda had plenty to work with.

Just to clarify my remarks, the only thing that I see as "modernized" on the new models is the instrument cluster. My preferences for the original CB1100 design are totally subjective. But none of that should matter for those that prefer the looks of the newer models. Either way, great bike.
