He claimed to have just gotten this news from Honda 4 or 5 days ago and that the website will be updated very soon to reflect this. Unfortunately, he didn't really have any details regarding specs/features of the alleged Standard vs. Deluxe versions. He also said that he's not aware of any CB1100EX units coming to the U.S.
All of this sounded like crazy-talk to me so please take it with a grain of salt. Maybe the guy hadn't taken his meds today. We'll see.
My local dealer confirmed the same just two days ago. He said the Standard version will be the same as our 2013 models, and he stated the Deluxe will be the 6-speed version with the different dash (I'm guessing it also has the wire wheels and 4-into-2 pipes as shown above). He recalled seeing the colors black and red mentioned, and he believes the Standard was to be black, and the Deluxe in red.
