From forum member Henrik:

Here you go with some initial information. Like I mentioned, I will contact Honda Switzerland next week to try and get some more info from them. I would like to get the serial numbers imported here if possible, and to clarify the situation for the standard 2014 model because things are not entirely clear on that one. What I indicated below about the black one is what I was told by the Honda shop where I bought mine, but I have not yet seen any myself.

2013

Model Name CB1100A
5 speed
All ABS and CBS
Three colour options:

• Black with black side cover

I was today at a classic bike hill climb in my "backyard" here in Switzerland (Retro Moto St Cergue). As a friend of mine was racing a CB750 Daytona Replica, I obviously went to see him at the Honda paddock, and again came across this special edition CB1100 proposed in Switzerland:



Last time I showed it, there was a question if this was a proper 2015 model, or a modified 2014. So, I took a picture of the serial number:



I am not familiar with the codes, but I am sure somebody here will be able to determine what model year this is...
