A few days ago I received a 12 (!) page brochure from the UK about the CB1100.I bought it on ebay.
The biggest difference if ofcourse they have the 3 colours and we have only the red ones.I personally like the silver engine and wheels of the European models and I think that quite a few forum members would have preferred that instead of black.When I went to the Charlotte motor cycle show in feb. and asked about this at the Honda stand they said that their market research indicated that the USA market preferred the black.He pointed out that a lot of bikes in the show were in black,engine or body work.
All the bikes in the Uk come with ABS only,this will be the law in 2015 for all bikes but the smaller ones.
I hope that Honda next year will bring out a black one here but with the silver engine and wheels.
We have a CBX rally in GA this week but instead of bringing my CBX I will ride my CB1100,there is also a Japanese Vintage Bike Show in the same area at the same time,well worth going to!
