NEW 2014: CB 1100, CB 1100 EX

[davidsargee_imp]

Although I don't consider the 2013 a miss, there are some things about the 2014EX that really appeal to me. In particular the larger fuel tank, the 4 into 2 exhaust, and the gear indicator. I would not complain about the 6 th gear, but don't feel it necessary. I like the look of the spokes but prefer the mags. I understand the bars are 1" taller as well, which might be good.

When I was as my dealer Christmas eve, I asked about the new model. He had not heard of it, nor had he heard if Honda was going to have any 2014 CB 1100s. He did have a 2014 Full model range brochure and there was a CB1100 in it, but it was listed as a 2013 model in the brochure. Not sure what that means.

Regardless I am not dissapointed in the least in my 2013, and Zi am thrilled to have gotten it.

I agree with you, I would probably like that 6th gear too, as well as the instrument panel with the extra info and gear indicator. The 4 into 2 exhaust would not turn me away, although I like the 4 into 1 better, (I liked the old CB400 pipes).

I prefer the looks of the '13. Just my preference. This is not to say that I would not like the '14, it's an attractive bike, but the '13 fits me better.

At any rate, neither bike is a failure, and they can be modded in oh so many ways.

Cheers
