2017 CB1100 Revealed

The flickering is just a function of how video works. You are actually being shown many still pictures that are changed at a certain rate (60 Hz typically). LED displays are also turning on and off to give you the video like look. If you film anything worth a slightly different refresh rate, you are taking still pictures 30, 60, out 120 times per second. Some of the pictures capture the display between refreshes while it is momentarily off. This shows up in the video as flickering.

There are videos of helicopters flying where it looks like the rotors are sitting still. This is nothing more than the rotational frequency of the rotor matching the refresh rate of the video. So every still frame in the video is basically taking a picture with the rotor in the same position.

Like I suspected, the reviews keep on coming for the updated models!






Where was all this attention when the bike came out....years ago!?

Phil West mentions revised valve timing on the new '17 models.
Is this right or just a re-reading of the original off set timing on Cyl.1.
Which has always been the case... no?

Not really sure that I like this direction for the bike.

It sort of reminds me of the CB1300 Super Four. Or at least the gas tank does.

Instead they keep dumping the ugly dawgs on us like this years model with its tacky racing flag stripes and blackened engine.



I actually really like this bike (I might change the chequered flag theme) and wish it was imported in to Australia. I love blacked out bikes and especially the part about not having to clean them as much!!!!

Sorry to be picky, CTsCB, but that's the 2016 model which Honda sent nowhere much except Canada. This year's model has the new-fangled seamless tank.

I shortly red an article about the new CB on a website in German called 'nippon classics'.
Most of the things written about the Honda could have been written years ago when the first CB came out in Germany. So it can be interesting for someone, who hasn't heard of the CB before, but to riders like me, who own a CB for several years now, such a review taste a bit like cold coffee with not really something new under the sun of Hondas aircooled Inline for. In my opinion, changing some parts of the CB, doesn't really makes a different and new motorbike out of it. It stays pretty much the same, RS this way or that way, never was attracted by sort of cafe racers, in this case a half hearted one.
All reviews may have its reason in the fact, that the new CB now is the last relict of a lost genre of formerly beloved motorbikes. The first one wasn't.
