I have recently been smitten with the CB 1100 bug. I plan on selling my Suzuki V-Strom, which up to this point is the best, most all-around competent bike I've ever owned. But the CB speaks to me on so many levels. I love the UJM style. My hope is that Honda brings the white color here in 2014. The last UJM style bike I had was my 1981 Yamaha Seca 550, which was also white.
Whatever color I get, I'll want to add the matching bikini-fairing I see available from Japan. Beautiful!!!
Does anyone know when the 2014's are supposed to hit the dealers?
And I am SOOO glad that Honda is bringing it back for 2014. I continue to hope that enough American riders will wake up and realize that there are options besides heavy cruisers and silly-fast, tiny hyper-sport-bikes, allowing the manufacturers to bring to the US many of the great bikes that the rest of the world gets. Wasn't it Suzuki a few years back that had a retro-version of the GS 1000? But not in the US.
I ran into a guy at the store a couple of weeks ago as I was buying glasses. I mentioned that I needed the glasses to fit under my helmet. Turns out he rides a Harley and he asked me what I ride: "a cruiser or a sport-bike". Argh. I had to explain that an adventure bike (my V-Strom) is neither of those.
