Could someone with knowledge on how to do this... set up a poll about which one they'd prefer? Using the original version of this side by side photo from the EX Anticipation thread?

2014 DLX with the EX headlight and chrome Tach/Speedo covers. Everything else stays the same. BUT, if my hand was forced it would be the DLX if I had to put my money down.

Actually, I'll go with the one that Honda's putting into US dealers this spring! Tongue

On reflection I wish I had added what I said [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=9996&pid=159057#pid159057]here to my post above.

I like them both. I prefer the look of the DLX in the comparison picture and I never want to own spokes again, but if I were in the market for a new bike, I'd have the new EX like a shot.

DLX. Spokes look good for about twenty miles and then they're covered with brake dust and look dingy. Cleaning them is a pain and if you don't the bike looks dirty. Not to mention the need for truing after hitting a dead possum or something. The wheels on the 13-14 look great and are a joy to keep clean, if that's possible. Spokes are something like breaker points; who misses them?

Cleaning spoked wheels is easy.
1. Go buy some anti-breakdust spray and spray your spokes.
2. Use wheel cleaner and brush.

Not much difference from cleaning all other wheels really.

No vote for me. I like 'em both. They're both CB1100s. The differences are what I'd consider "minor details". I'd be proud to own either one.
