I'm 58 and do not have a modern bike,but I do have a bunch of 1972-1975 Kawasaki H2750 and S3400 2 stroke triples ( I'm on most of the triple forums) !!! I was hoping you guys could answer a question for me !!! I am thinking about buying a used CB1100 because its a cool bike and I can't believe you can buy a bike like this for the money (used) !!! Reading the post I know some don't like the new 2017 tank but I really do !!! I was wondering if for sure a 2017 EX or RS tank will fit a 2013-2014 standard CB1100 ??? Thanks for the info and I enjoy reading the post on this forum !!!
Having owned a 1972 Kawasaki H2 Mach IV, I think you should be aware that CB1100 is over 100 pounds heavier. While the H2 carries its weight low because of its 2-stroke engine with no cams or valves, the Honda is top heavy because of its tall twin-cam 16 valve motor.
Like you I think the 2017 CB1100 EX is a beautiful bike and intend to buy one. But be aware it is not going to be as light and nimble as the H2. Since you have a bunch of them, you might want to keep one and sell the rest for money towards a CB1100 EX.
