Anybody notice in that video the little red flashing light at the bottom of the tach? Wonder if that's a factory security system light? (Obviously not available here). Also, I could swear that somewhere I've seen a picture or video of a CB 1100 that had an amber light at the bottom of the tach spelling out the letters ETC. Either somewhere on planet earth there are CB 1100's with Electronic Traction Control, or, waiting for my 2014 to arrive is causing me to have some very imaginative dreams!
