What bikes have you bought twice?

[the Ferret]

yea, that's it, the Victor was the one that put it over the top and made it painfully obvious

VLJ, thanks for playing. That's a nice smattering of bikes you've had but none are the same bike, so zero points. By "same bike," I mean a bike you owned at one time that you decided to buy again. I owned two different '07 F800ST's, at different times. Same bike? Yep. Ferret had a '13 CB1100 and swapped it for a '14 CB1100 DLX. Same bike? Uh, close, but no. I'm on my second R1200RT, but they're eight years and three generations apart. Same bike? No way. That's how the game is played.

Here I go again...

Oh yeah, I am so sure that clip EXACTLY describes your "shrinking violet" personality...

Although I do think the beat-down you got for the unqualified entry was a little much.

Then again, you do like to bend the rules!

Saying a 13 standard and 14 dlx aren’t the same bike is absurd.

Different transmission, seat, instruments, tank, side covers, exhaust system, standard brakes, and a whole slew of other things which mickey has enumerated.

Not all that absurd, by this game's standards.

great rider who get's little respect?

I think 1983 CB 1100 and any year 2010-2017 CB1100's are different bikes.

I think any 2010-2017 CB1100 is the same bike. How many changes have to be different to be different? Does 2 bikes having different seats make them different bikes? Side covers? Handlebars? Switches? wheels? Exhaust?
Same basic motor..same bike. They are all new gen CB 1100's.

[VLJ_imp]

Since there are apparently no strictly-defined rules regarding this game, I'd say the addition of an extra transmission gear and exhaust pipe along with the far larger fuel tank make the '14 Deluxe substantially different enough from the '13 model to qualify here.

[Lord Popgun]

I’m gonna agree with Ferret AND Vlj on this one.

The original post in this thread said:

MTC's purchase of his second CB1100 piqued my curiosity. Have you owned the same model motorcycle on two different occasions?

I have, five times:

2 K75's
2 SV650's
2 F800ST's
2 V7 Classic's
2 CB750's (both SOHC but 8 model years apart)

Anyone else?

Seems to me, on that basis the Ferret has it right. The 2010-2017 CB1100 is the same model. However, it does give rise to the question of when a model has so evolved that it becomes different. A bigger tank and an extra gear and new suspension doesn't cut it (at least, in my opinion) when the engine and the chassis are the same. But is the RS model sufficiently different?

[the Ferret]

Agree Cormanus...one of MTC's has ABS and the other didn't. Different model? (they have a different model designation according to Honda).... but I don't think so.

CB1100..CB1100ABS..CB1100 DLX..CB1100 Special Edition..CB1100EX..CB1100RS.. they are all CB1100's IMO

[Guth_imp]

This one's pretty easy folks. If you believe that any version of the CB1100 is different enough that it should be discussed in the Other Bikes section rather than the General Discussion section of CB1100 Discussion area of this forum, then you could indeed declare them as unfit to qualify as a second purchase of the same bike.
