CB1100 (and other motorcycle) specifications

[Cormanus]

I have one of the somewhat rare 2016 black checkerboard Canada models. I had heard there were very few brought to Canada and were actually a "special" edition bike in Japan that landed here. I bought mine in Moncton, New Brunswick on the east coast but the dealer thought it came from Quebec. Would love to know the true story on these.

I was taking photos the other day of the serial numbers and stickers. I noticed that the sticker on the stem had the same serial as the one engraved plus extra three digits at the end. What's up with the that? Also right next to the model number there is the date 9/16. Is that the manufacturer date or the date of arrival into Canada . Either way seems late in the year. There are only a couple months left in the season at that point.

QimmiQ, Other than Japan, Canada is the only place I know of that got the 2016 model. I've been wrong before, though!

9/16 is likely to be the month of manufacture.

Are you OK about posting a picture of the compliance plate? I'd be interested to see it. If you are, no worries, but are you able to tell me the 8th and 10th digits of the VIN? So those digits I've marked with an 'x' JH2SC65x?xK000000? I'm also a bit interested in the extra 3 digits on the end of the serial number and what they might be.

This is a picture of the compliance plate on my CB1100.



Oh, and what Ridem32 said ... some pictures of the bike?
