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...
Yep, cleaning spoked wheels is quite a chore, also, keeping them tight eventually becomes a headache.
I prefer my mags. 2014 looks great though.

I'm with you on this, and I like the dark gray covers better than the silver ones too, they're perfect really as I think black side covers would 'disappear' too easily.

I like them as they are, but I also like the matching ones. The red/silver color scheme reminds me of the old CBX, which was also an awesome looking bike.
The gun metal look is not doing if for me. Would prefer glossy. Don't care for those "white" blinkers either. I am biased though, I love my 2013 CB11.
The new instrument panel is the only change that I would really just LOVE to have. Other than that, I'm happy, happy.

Adding a little red highlighting somewhere (tank stripes?) would look really cool on that bike to me. The white with the silver engine and wheels just doesn't have enough contrast for me. It's obvious that many here prefer black and while it's not my thing, I can understand the attraction. Black with a silver engine looks better to me than the black on black combo. Many of the colors that Honda used on their bikes back in the early 70's would also look really good on this bike.
I feel really fortunate that Honda brought exactly the color combination and design I was hoping for here to the States to begin with.
Amen, the more I think about mods, the less likely I am going to do much. I like the bike more and more every day just the way it is.

I don't like spoked wheels and my gas tank is bigger than my urine tank. I guess 6 speeds would be nice, but I'm used to the 5 speed by now. And I love the red color.
Guess I'll be keeping my limited-edition, one-year only 2013.
I'm with you Spaceman, I like my 2013. The duel exhaust is nice, but I'll keep my 2013.

Me too! The new instrument panel would be nice, but not essential, otherwise I wouldn't change a thing.
