On 2 separate occasions now, that sound has been abnormal, much louder and higher pitched. It is not all the time, only twice so far.
It has me a bit concerned, because the chances are slim that the bike will make that sound when I want it to, in front of a factory trained Honda technician.
Other than that, the bike is surprisingly powerful and smooth. I was cruising at 55 mph, dropped it into 4th gear and pulled the throttle wide open. The CB1100 pulled hard and hit 80 mph in a few seconds. I just love the twin dials and the display! The candy glory red paint is deep, rich and mirror like.
I'd rather the side covers matched the tank, and red ones can be ordered on WEBIKE out of Japan. There is a good selection of deluxe OEM chrome fancy items you can add to the bike.
Have any of you seen the Corbin seats that can be ordered from Corbin? They are leather and are made for the CB1100.
My 2014 Deluxe just started making an unusually loud buzzing sound when I first turn the key also. This is definitely NOT the normal electric fuel pump noise. Put your ear on the fuel tank when you turn the key and you can still hear the sound from the fuel pump, but it is being over-ridden by another sound which is much louder. Mine is so loud it resonates the fuel tank, and that's with the tank 3/4 full. Please let me know if you discover the source and if you're able to repair it.
