Well. As much as many of you and myself enjoy talking about the 14 I'm excited to get to know my 13.
Having owned many bikes of many variations from a 65 dream to a rocket three to a monster among others I have a strong 60 second 1st experience
In driving frm the trailer out front to garage in back I am pleseantly reminded of how well engineered honda bikes are. Engagement to 1st and the power deliver is shocking "Swiss watch" smooth. And quiet in 1st. Exactly what I want in a retro bike. If I want a loud bike I'd buy a sport or a Harley. Ok. Strike that last part that would kill my soul to do.
Smiled for 3 minutes after the 1 minute drive. Can't wait for more.
My plans for the girl are suble and inspired by a few of you.
Tank knee pads made to design
Gators
Seat maybe
Luggage rack Oem
Maybe that aluminum cafe style screen I've seen on this sight.
K&n
Figure out a classy way to fashion a shorty back rest for the back. Shorter better.
You all made a rock star decision w the bike w either 13 or 14 Congrats
Cool thing is all are slightly different.
Ok. So what else is a mist do for my new bike?

Congratulations Ron!
I'm really glad that Honda has decided to bring the '14 models to the States and I'm looking forward to seeing new faces popping up around here with their 2014 bikes and I'm especially happy for those who found that extra bit of difference that they were looking for in the Deluxe model that differentiates it from the 2013 CB.
Still for me, it's the '13 model that has the most appeal. Even if I had the chance to trade straight up for the new bike, I just couldn't do it. The design of the '13 just pushes all of the right buttons for me, just like the '14 will for others. Not only does introduction of the '14 models ensure that the CB1100 will stick around for at least another year, it also locks down the exclusivity of the 2013 model.
Enjoy getting to know your CB as it's a spectacular machine. If we're lucky, the CB1100 will continue on for some time to come. My biggest wish is that the Deluxe will appeal to a larger audience and the bike will experience increased overall sales to live on for another year or more. Who knows, maybe we'll see a 3rd generation design some day? Hey, a guy can always dream.
Same here. Much to like in the 2014 but still prefer the '13.
