Hey All,
I just bought a 2013 CB1100 so I'm new here. I'm not sure if mine has ABS or if abs was an option, I'm guessing mine doesn't have it since I don't see an abs light come on when I first start the bike.

Welcome to the forum, SmallCityDave. Doesn’t look like it has ABS. Most 2013s in the US did not. If there’s no sensor ring on the front wheel, there’s no ABS. If the VIN begins JH2SC651, there’s no ABS.

Thank you. I've been wanting one for a while but never got off my duff to go out and get one till last week, it was worth the 600 mile drive.

Yeah, no sensor ring, no crossover hose—no ABS
The 2013 with ABS is actually C-ABS (Combined ABS). The only model with it. Combines front and rear brakes.
Also all honda ABS bikes have an ABS light on the dash that comes on with the key and goes off when you reach a speed of 6 mph. I think its 6.

I like the color of the cylinders, the 4-in-1 exhaust, and the overall looks.
My EX' color scheme is very similar, but this is really nice !!
Congrats
