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.
2016 Honda CB1100
That is my local dealer (I live outside Moncton), I looked at that bike and thought about buying it but I already have a blacked out bike (HD Night Train) so I really wanted a 2014 blue one. Yours is one of 3 CB1100As I have seen in the flesh at the dealer, never seen one in the wild.
