All the early 4 cylinder Honda,s had silver engines and to ME they look so much nicer.
I do not care about a 6 speed box or the spoked wheels but would like a bigger gas tank.
Honda would do well to bring the 2014 model out with a silver engine to make a big enough difference for people to buy one (or their second one )
It should not be a problem as they already have them in many other countries.
The more I ride my Cb1100 the more I love this bike,it is so easy to ride .
Quote:I do not care about a 6 speed box Before I test rode the CB 1100 I worried about why the bike has only 5 gears and not 6. After riding it, I was sure it is not necessary (plenty of torque) - but still sometimes on the Autobahn it would be nice to have a sixth gear just to bring down noise, rotation of the engine and fuel consumption.
Quote:or the spoked wheels It depends... on the price. I only found some spoke wheels from third parties which cost roughly 2000 EUR, which is too much for me.
Quote: but would like a bigger gas tank. Yes, that's the only complaint I have with the CB 1100. Due to its fuel consumption, the 15 L gas tank is a bit small.

[1] The other little complaint is to ride with my wife for more than 1 day. Then the possibilities to store the baggage are limited - if you do not like to deface the "clean" bike with plastic side boxes or rear boxes.
