A lot of different CB 1100s

[road dog_imp]

You know we tend to think of the CB 1100 as one small model ( I guess cause in the USA that is all we have had) but when you stop to think of all the different guises of the CB 1100, there really are a lot

Lets see.. the 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013s for other markets came in black, white, blue (2 blues?) silver (2 silvers?).... hey...how come no one has joined the forum with a silver CB 1100 yet ?.. I wonder

the 2013 USA model comes in one shade of red,

the 2014 USA Deluxe in another shade of red

the std 2014 USA model comes in another shade of black

silver engines, black engines

silver wheels, black wheels with polished edges, all black wheels

with tank stripes and without tank stripes

low seat, high seat

4 into 1 exhaust, 4 into 2 exhaust

Standard, EX, and Deluxe models

5 speed transmissions, 6 speed transmissions

2 different size turn signals

2 different sets of gauges

2 different types of handlebars

2 different passenger grab rails

2 different gas tanks

various parts either painted or polished

Honda has invested a lot of effort into this bike.. 5 years, multiple iterations, loads of subtle changes.

This is the thing I've started paying a lot more attention to lately. While I'd prefer to have the 4 into 2 exhaust and 6 speed tranny of the new Deluxe model, I also really like the black motor with polished aluminum accents (and matching wheels) that's reminiscent of some CB SuperSports of yore.
If anyone can give me all the scoop on US engine colors (past, present and future) I'd love ya for it.
Coz if they're doing an all silver motor Deluxe model I may be in for another disappointing year.
