I just wished it also had ABS, which is Mandatory for me. So that rules out a 2013 DlX, as a 6 speed is also mandatory. A 2017 Deluxe has ABS, 6 speed, and a LED headlight (which I don't think is on the 2014's?), but it also has the spoked classic wheels and 2x2 exhaust as original equipment, neither of which I like. If I go the 2017 Deluxe CB1100 route, I would then choose to procure the alloy wheels and either the factory 2014 Four into One Exhaust setup or maybe a Yoshi pipe. Not a very inexpensive route. Questions: 1) will the alloy 2014 5 spoke (ten actual spokes, but they look like 5 twin spokes to me) work with the ABS brake setup, disks, etc. on the 2017? 2) did the 2014 have an LED headlight? And, finally, 3) what is the best way for me to get an ABS, 6 speed, four into one factory exhaust, and spoked wheels equipped CB1100? I can live with red of course, which looks infinitely easier given my preferences, it is just that I prefer black. I can also live without an LED headlight, as that is rather minor. I could always address that with a different bulb in all likelihood.

Thanks!
Don't forget the slipper clutch.

Some "anti " ABS riders seem to imply that they are better riders and do not need ABS.
I hope that you are right all the time !
The more one reads up on ABS and statistics, the more it is a no brainer. I love the people that think they can somehow bring about a "controlled crash" with some kind of magical superior skill and eschew the idea of ABS. Might as well aspire to be Superman.
