2017 Honda CB1100 EX MSRP

[clearviewx]

I know the MSRP for the 2017 Honda CB1100 EX will not be released until after Jan 1, 2017. Do Forum members think it will be more than the 2014 Honda CB1100 DLX ($11,899.00) or less? I'm leaning towards it being a slight increase in price.

I am afraid it will be more, but I hope it will be less.

I'm guessing the MSRP will be higher.

I'm guessing $500 higher to cover some of the new niceties (slipper/assist clutch, LED lighting, seamless tank, wire wheels, etc.).

Hopefully they will have a better selection of accessories for the EX

Anyone here planning on trading up or buying one? With all the upgrades I think it will be more than $500. The Standard was $9999 in 2013, and the Deluxe was $1900 more. We're getting into some decent coin now. But I saw yesterday a red Thruxton pretty deeply discounted. Triumph missed the boat on that one but hit the mark with the Street Cup. They put 4,000 bucks worth of stuff on the bike, like Ohlins and Brembo and whatnot, and still are only getting 97 horsepower, the same as the four-year-old FZ8 I traded in on my Street Cup There is just some point where it's not worth it to overly "upcharge" for stuff.

On the other hand, the Thruxton and T120 are still cooler bikes than the CB1100, which is the point here. If someone looks at the 2017 CB1100, and then shops the nearest competition, they're gonna be looking at a T120 which makes about the same power, more torque, is 25 pounds lighter, and, with a discount, can be had for the same money. Or they could upcharge to the basic Thruxton, which is about 65 pounds lighter, makes a lot more power and torque, and is a much more capable motorcycle in every measurable way in terms of outright performance.

The new Triumphs are a formidable opponent when it comes to sport heritage motorcycles.

I would think at least $1k more but the dollar is significantly stronger than 2013 so it could be the same or less.

I'm not.

I traded out of my 2013 Thruxton for the CB. I'd had a '12 T100 prior to that. I spent my first 10 years of riding on HD big bikes followed by 10 years of sport bikes. The Triumphs were way nice bikes but they always felt just a little too small to me. And I'm not a large person at 5-6. On the highway I always felt like I was riding a Moped. I also wanted to get off of spokes. This after I was blasting down the road to work one morning, arrived, parked, went in, came back out a little later and my back tire was flat. That would have been just great at 90 on the highway.

But the new CB1100 EX has spokes. I've had far more flats with cast wheels and tubeless tires than with spoked wheels. A flat is caused by a puncture. Unless the spoked wheel is damaged as in the rim strip is compromised, the spoked wheel will not present any more of an issue than the cast wheel.

The real difference is in how you go about making a temporary repair. Again, this is far easier with a tube. Pull out the nail or whatever and fill the inner tube with that goop in the aerosol can. It'll seal it well enough to get you to a repair shop.

Without the tube, if the tubeless tire breaks the bead, you are out of luck. If you catch it before that happens you can use a plug from the handy type of plug kit available at a lot of auto parts stores, and then use an aerosol can or some CO2 cartridges to get it rideable.

The T120 series Bonneville is a totally different kind of bike, a complete redesign.

Yeah, at least a grand more, I'd say between $12,499 and $12,999. But we'll see.

I would think higher. Inflation and the nicer wheels alone call for a price increase. It would be an insult to the current CB1100 if the price doesn't change.
