NEW 2014: CB 1100, CB 1100 EX

[the Ferret]

Ok a couple points after looking at and reading that report. (1) looking close at the wheel picture picture, it appears to me those are tube type rims. Not much of an issue for me, my Bonneville had tube type rims. Not as convenient as tubeless, but not a deal breaker. (2) reporter estimate a 400 rpm drop at 70 mph in 6 th over 5 th. In my experience, a 1 tooth larger counter shaft sprocket or 3 tooth smaller rear sprocket will also drop revs about 400 rpms at a given speed. Spaceman has already laid the ground work for this modification to our current bikes

(3) the reporter said the 14 ex seat is thicker and softer. It appears to be the same seat to me with a different cover. The foam could be different, but the shape is the same. Looking back and forth and the std and ex pics, the seat looks the same size and shape to me. Time will tell.

Edit note* the specs show the seat height to be 20 mm (25/32 inch) higher for the 14 ex so the seat must indeed be thicker.
