NEW 2014: CB 1100, CB 1100 EX

[ingobohn_imp]

Okay, so there are a couple of vids out on Youtube for the 2014 CB1100 EX. I love the dual exhaust, seat, and the addition of 6 sp and the gear indicator. In my opinion, the tank looks a little bulbous and I am not a fan of the spoked wheels or the new side covers. It is an attractive package but the bike almost looks like Honda is trying too hard to make the bike resemble a 70s CB750. Maybe that is the purpose.

Wonder if the dual exhaust and seat would fit the 2013. May have to think about those down the road. Overall, a nice bike with some nice upgrades. Owners will be proud to own this bike and Honda did a nice job and listened to their customers.

full ACK - and that's the reason whey the whole EX package does not fit well for me. But still some parts of the package are interesting (e.g. tank, 6speed, ...)

Technically the most prominent change in mechanics is the new gearbox six-speed , keeping the crankcase already inherited the CB1300 in the current series. No increase in performance while maintaining the same rate of change in its five speeds, the sixth is intended to allow more relaxed cruise at speed and therefore lower fuel consumption. And besides posts and talk about this issue , the new EX CB1100 brings different fuel tank. If the CB1100 remains the current 14.6 liters, the EX increases reaching 17.5 l 2.9 liters . Following the importance of consumption , Honda extends information watches classic cut consumption indicator , gear position and autonomy , accompanying the time clock and fuel level .
The weights have also been variation from classical , reaching 260kg Kerb compared to 247Kg of bringing more aluminum : the CB1100 so far announced 248Kg .

Keeping well hidden electronic fuel injection system PGM- FI flaunting the brand , this new CB also receives intermittent and repositioning clocks are higher. Cover better in aerodynamic terms , but you may also come with new straighter position on the handlebar and even more comfortable if possible.
In addition to the wide range of accessories that I had , is extended with some extra more to enhance the personality of both styles , although the two only contribute EX Series center stand and seat upholstered in its classic cut . The colors are red and white with silver panels and completely black for EX CB1100 , CB1100 whereas only be in black . Finally comment that equip both CBS and ABS as standard.

So they also changed the handle bar of the CB 1100 EX? Didn't know that so far.

Has anyone commented on whether the spoke wheels are tubeless or not?

At first I thought, wow, cool, spoke wheels! Then I remembered what it's like to clean them...

Does anyone of you know which kind of helmet (brand) the driver is wearing on [url=http://media.motorbox.com/data/contenuti/0000048448/img/984x554/honda-cb1100ex-e-cb1100-my-2014-58b6acd444bffd89626f42a808b0b275.jpg#gallery]this and [url=http://media.motorbox.com/data/contenuti/0000048448/img/984x554/honda-cb1100ex-e-cb1100-my-2014-eaadd437dee81cd322b698d00ab6e3b4.jpg#gallery]this pic?
I do not know the logo on front of the helmet, but the helmet looks pretty nice.
