Goldwing style front suspension on future models?
https://www.cycleworld.com/story/bikes/g...re-hondas/
Partway down the article "The Wishbone-Equipped CB1100" ... not my CB1100 please.
I understand that its probably a more "retro" design (dawn of two wheel vehicles) but front struts are sexy

geealou no thanks. But it does show you Honda's faith in the CB 1100.

Well....that is.... something...
I can't say anything until I see it on a put together bike...and even then may need to ride it.
Kinda like a Tesla...I am in no rush to jump on something that could get to the point that I will have no other choice so for now will enjoy old school while I can.

It's just ugly.
Also, performancewise, I don't see how getting steering forces going through all that (see "items" 111-61-112) could give any good feedback while riding.
There are much simpler solutions that would work better.

If that happens, there will be no longer classic CB1100

.
I keep mine as long as possible.

It is a game changer on the new Goldwing. Smooth riding like never before. I’d love to see it and demo a CB1100 with this setup.

I saw a guy yesterday on the BRP with the wish bone front , look very nice on his gold wing in silver paint and he loved it . I think that it would look terrible on a CB 1100.

Somehow I don't see them actually doing this...
