Two new models of CB will appear in Canada this spring.

Those are more new models I wouldn't own because I couldn't swing my leg over them. Flat, level seats is one of the reasons I have the CB1100 and Bonneville. Don't know why motorcycle "designers" think we all want to look like racers, with rear seats/tail sections 5-6 inches taller than the rider's seat. I can get on my CB1100 easier than on my CB300F.

When you look at them, you wonder why they even include a seat a pillion. Who'd want to sit there?

[misterprofessionality]

They do it because they think they can't sell the bikes without any passenger "capability". It's one of the reasons I respect my Thruxton designs much. They just went ahead and deleted the passenger seat, admitting out loud "this bike is not for passengers." I wish more bikes were honest about that.

I saw a couple on a 600cc sportbike out riding yesterday. Poor thing riding pillion was way up high, all hunched over with back bent into a giant C, legs folded up underneath her, holding on for dear life, almost laying on the drivers back. I guess today's bikes are made for young people that can endure that.

More power to 'em if they can find that sort of thing comfortable!

I'd like to see those new Hondas. Y'all know I'm too cheap to buy new from a dealership, but it'd be nice to see them.

I can stand the back seat and a few other things, but its beak is just ugly

[Whoops]

Yikes. The NT1100 finally releases in Canada. Ferret, I think Honda is just taunting you now.

Lol. I wanted one pretty bad back in 2021 to replace my FJR after my wife quit riding 2 up, but when Honda didnt bring it, I went with the NC 750 and I'm happy with that.

I had a couple of Honda CB750s back in the day. The first one had the 4-2 exhaust, which I modded by cutting off part of the snooter in each pipe. It sounded great, like a Ferrari running thru the gears. The second one had the 4-1 exhaust, with an aftermarket can on it. It was way too loud, and I rewrapped it four times, but was still obnoxiously loud. I had to use earplugs to ride it. I had it about three or four months and sold it.
