HONDA Co does not, but the Forum members subsidize Honda by writing interesting threads, posts, articles, issue technical notes, place photos so the guest visiting this Forum are encouraged to buy the CB1100 or other Honda motorcycle models......

Yes, I subsidize Honda by buying their motorcycles!
However, the number of bikes that they currently manufacture that I would be interested in buying is fewer than it was ten years ago. They still have some cool bikes, eg., Fury, Shadow, NT750, Rebel 1100, but the direction Honda North America seems to be headed seems like they're not very interested in customers like myself, eg , 50 sumthin' guy who's been riding since I was a kid.
I get it, they need to attract new riders, but investing in internet forums and building great and classic bikes seems like a wiser approach than the Ruckus, Grom, and DCT stuff...

Have to disagree about the DCT. It's a brilliant transmission, that appeals to beginners and older riders alike. As a 72 yo owner of a 750 DCT who has put 15,000 on it in a year, its truly a revelation in riding.
The CB's 1100 motor coupled with a DCT trans would be the bomb. I'd buy one in a heartbeat, but it will never happen. I-4's are looking at popularity and production in the rear view mirror.
