HONDA IN EUROPE

[peterbaron]

While in Europe last week, I visited Honda dealer for pure reason: 2017 CB1100 RS/ABS
Here is my private opinion::

.... if you park RS  beside any other  CB1100, there is no doubt that : CB1100 is an undisputed winner due to its classic look, perfect harmony with a modern touch of technology.
RS looks too heavy & too massive, like a "bulldog" type motorcycle with its 17" mags, too modern/skinny turn signals do not add up to its overall look....

FEW RS - ABS SPECS::  tank/16.8 L/4.44 gal,  2 front discs of 310 mm/12.2" with double-4 piston calipers,  seat height 795 mm/31.3", frt tire 120/70/17, massive rear tire 180/55/17, 2 colors available - graphite black and candy prominence red - both with black fenders (EX models were in 3 colors; candy prominence red, pearl sunbeam white & pearl shining yellow - all with chrome fenders)

CROSSTOURER VFR 1200X C-ABS & VFR 800X - ABS

AFRICA TWIN CRF 1000L with and without ABS

2015 GOLD WING F6C ABS CUSTOM in black and red color, 117 KM at 5500 RPM and 168 Nm/124 ft lb at 4000 RPM

..... and variety of "smaller mosquitos" that are very popular in Europe

My bottom line: CB1100 stays in my garage and thinking of getting newer, 6 speed

Cheers to all
