spoke wheel's

Yes I agree. It's odd how honda sells same bikes. But different colors to different parts of the world. I did lots of searching on the cbx and wow you should see what some guys can come up with and do to a cbx. The cb1100 still fairly new but just wait some one will blow our minds with what they can do. You can learn a lot

I'll just enjoy looking at someone else's spoked wheels.

I don't care to clean 96 slender chrome rods down near the ground, tucked under discs, sprocket, chain, frame and forks and fenders and tightly overlapping each other.

Then there's the 192 mechanical connections, all located as described above, upon which the smoothness and reliability of my riding experience is dependent.

I'll keep my magnesiums, thank you!

edit: forgot hot exhaust pipe

+2 Greg. I got the honda com star on my cbx. Not sure if they call the CB com star but I would say yes. Whatever it's called my Preference is the mag.

Here is a link to some Com-Star wheels. Aren't they riveted or screwed or something? Our wheels are cast one-piece.

I think I remember thinking that the Com-Star wheels looked cheap when they came out. I do know I didn't like them.

The comstar wheel was a riveted wheel and few trusted them in the beginning. They proved to be very durable during their run. Not sure about the long run though as in 30 + years, but I have not read any issues with the rivets coming loose.

The wheels on the CB 1100 are cast to RESEMBLE the Comstar wheels

The cbx does have rivets but they are good. A very nice cbx rim is high dollar
All cbx guys use the oem comstar wheels. They don't want aftermarket at all nor spokes

Mags for me

Going to jump on the mag band wagon here.

A buddy I ride with has a custom Triumph Thruxton. Beautiful bike with spoked wheels. Looks like a 1960s cafe racer. I feel like our CB is more of a mid to late 1970s homage, so mags it is for me.

And yes, tubeless tires are a no go for me.
