I'm starting to disect and examine each photo and visible part.
Like the step holder is solid now. I wonder why they did that when in the original cb1100 Honda design page they specifically called out that piece and the design elements of its shape, position and style.
Would like to know your expert thoughts on this-

FWIW, I think it was done to blend in with the RS styling. Then they said "Looks OK on the EX, too. Let's just use one part for both bikes."

As for how many they sell, what's the diff?. It is a stunning bike, different from the current models, and everyone has opinions, as long as you dig it!
Good to know, thanks!

Just trying to gauge popularity at launch...if very popular, they may get snapped up quickly. I'm wondering how many people missed out on the first US go-round, and are ready to pounce now that there's a second chance.
