When the CB 1100 appeared at the Japan market, some in Germany get very enthusiastic about this bike and pushed their dealership, to get this to Germany.

While Honda didn't ship them directly through the official channel, there came some so called grey imports to Germany, which where quiet expensive, about 15.000 Euros.

However, 2013 the CB 1100 A SC65 was officially introduced to the German market. It came with the combined ABS, silver engine and in 3 colors: red, white and black, price at about 11.000 Euros.

2014, additional to the standard an EX version was introduced and offered in parallel to the CB1100A. The difference was other brakes, larger fuel tank, 6th gear as overdrive, spoke wheels, stepped seat and
2 2-1 pipes, cost 1.000 Euro extra.

Expectations of selling were large at the dealership, but were not fulfilled. So 2014 there were still many 2013 models available at the stores, which dropped the prices. I got mine 2013 model in October 2014
for 8.600 Euros with 0 km at the odometer.

Now, end of 2014 and I think for 2015, both models, CB1100A and EX are still available, each in 3 colors. However, the engines are all silver, I have not seen black engines here.

End of 2013 there were 332 CB1100A registered overall in Germany.
