2017 CB1100

[VLJ_imp]

Cormanus, numerous magazines reported that the '17 dyno'd a couple-few hp stronger than the '14 on top (88 rwhp vs 82-85rwhp for the previous models) and throughout the midrange, which supports Honda's claim of increased power from the new exhaust system. The difference isn't all that significant, obviously, although the difference in sound is significant. Then again, the weight savings of the single-pipe version vs the smaller dual pipes of the '17 also isn't significant, not on a 550-lb tugboat like the CB1100. NightRider talks about the '14 Standard being faster than the '17 due to the '14's slightly lower weight, which is laughable. The average CB1100 rider is so overweight and rides so sedately that a few additional lbs of exhaust weight are entirely irrelevant, and the superior suspension on the '17 more than makes up for the weight difference anyway. Anyone who wants to go sportriding on the CB1100 will go faster on the '17, simply due to its superior handling.
