It certainly looks handsome all black, and it makes the all aluminum engine really stand out.
The cast alloy wheels also blend in with the disk brakes.
But as you said, it would have to be the Deluxe style with a 4-into-2 exhaust system with double walled chromed headers.
A lopsided 4-into-1 exhaust system would really spoil the looks of this retro style Honda.
However I could be happy with the red 2017 CB1100 EX model that is going to be available in America.
I would be happier if the engine was all aluminum, and the side panels matched the tank or were painted gloss black.
The spoke wheels certainly look more retro, but are they tubeless? If not I would prefer cast alloy wheels.
Unfortunately it probably won't be available in Canada.
Or they will dump the blah white or lemon yellow model on us.
If it cost US$13,000 in America, to import it would cost me about CDN$20,000 with currency exchange and sales taxes added.
