I'm with Guth on his observations. If the 2013 was a version of the 2014, I would still choose it over to newer models, just my tastes.
I see where they have made it look a little more like the older bikes that many of us loved. But when I first laid eyes on my '13, I did not have to look any further, I knew I had found my bike. At the time, I was considering a couple of bikes, but the 2013 CB1100 blew me away. I bought it, end of search. I still feel the same way, I love the lines of the bike, it is a blend of many things "CB" over the years, not just a copy of one older model. This is one of the things I like most about this bike.
I can see what others will like better about the 2014, and in some cases there are some improvements, I would love to have that 6th gear, (but I can live with 5
). I would not want to change the tank, I don't find an additional 20-25 miles range all that mind blowing.
I'm happy they brought back the CB1100, for all of the same reasons that other members of the forum have stated. I also see perhaps more people deciding on the CB1100 because of the new features of 2014.
It's all good.
