Some observations on the 2017 EX ..some pics added

[the Ferret]

Got to see the 2017 CB1100EX yesterday. My dealer got one in and sold it same day, ironically to the same guy I sold my Honda CB350F to many years ago. At least I got to look at it today. It is, as stated before by others, much better looking in person than in the pictures. The tank is still rather oddly shaped to me, but it would be hard to deny the richness of the paint. I was amazed at the number of changes to the bike and the only things left over from my bike ( the 14 dlx) would appear to be the motor and frame ( and even they may be different) and fenders. Nearly EVERYTHING else is different..wheels, forks, triple clamps, headlight, turn signals, instruments, caliper mounting, seat, taillight, side covers, exhaust, passenger peg mounting brackets, air cleaner covers. It is virtually a new model . Very nice.

I left a card with CB1100forum.com on it in his sales packet, so maybe he will stop in.

I took a bunch of comparison pics but been kind of busy and havent down loaded them yet.
