Thanks very much for the translation and clarification. In the US market, we did not receive any CB1100s until 2013 and 2014, and they were all cast-wheel versions. We received no 2015 or 2016 models, and the only 2017 models we got were wire-wheel models (no RS models ever).
A check of the parts catalog shows that US wire-wheel models are 40-spoke, and presumably stainless. Still, if someone could put a magnet to their spokes, it would be nice to know.
made today a test with my olight flash light "baton S1" endcap...minimum our version are magnetic.... smile

Thanks for checking. So according to the website in Germany, the Press Release for the 2017 model says they have 40 stainless spokes, which I confirmed for the US model also. I assume then that your bike is pre-2017 then. Thanks for the info.
