But it doesn't have the same look as the 2014 standard as the engine is silver and the side panels are grey. For what it's worth, I reckon the 2014 model makes a much stronger statement. I like it. It seems to me Honda is really trying to distinguish it from the DLX model. If I had then opportunity to make a choice, I'd be very torn between the symmetry and elegance of the DLX and the stronger, more aggressive looking standard.
If I were I a farkler, I'd be looking at least for black side covers for my 2011.
I agree with the 2014 comments.
Turn yourself into a DYI farkler. Order chrome CB1100 badges and paint the side covers matt black. Not a big job. There are CBs pictured on this forum with side panels in that configuration. Would look good on your bike.

Did you ever see the story of the dear old lady who set about restoring the fresco in a Spanish church? If not, it's [url=http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-19349921]here complete with before and after photos.
That's the sort of outcome that could be expected were I to become a DIY farkler.
But thanks for the suggestion.
