2014 CB1100 ?

Am I wrong in thinking that a complex 4 cylinder engine and a pretty intricate tank, along with awesome build quality, probably makes this bike worth a little more than $8500... but I am also of the opinion that Honda should put a freaking tool kit under the seat, and sell the U-lock in the States for those of us that may want it.

Hoping that Honda wises up and decides they can make some extra money from us if they provide accessories. Hey, it works for other bike manufacturers.

Oh,and yeah, I sometimes like feeding the trolls... I will try not to next time..

Turns out there is a 2014 as well as a tool kit! At least my dealer gave me one in a small blue plastic pouch along with the extra key and two books. The tool kit has a screw driver, hex wrench that I assume fits all the bolts on the bike and a fuse puller.

And two colors! And an ABS version (that is not selling well, I was told, and so production of that version is almost non-existent).

The Honda Gods blessed us in 2014.

While the tank shape is fine as is, I would have preferred a retro bike from the late 70's which means more of teardrop design. But the current tank does fit the over all look of this bike so.... meh.

But a test ride will have you forgetting about all that design stuff and thinking more about getting into the wind. Since you are looking for this sort of bike; don't test ride one unless you are prepared to buy.

The std black U.S. version tank is so beautiful. The red too. I absolutely hate those flat and huge metric cruiser tanks, they make me think of surf boards mounted on a low frame with handlebars I use to point the bike in the right direction cause Lord knows it won't lean very far unlike our lovely CB ladies.
