I just did a search on Honda of Canada. They are offering a Black Honda CB1100 EX model, with 5.9% financing from January 3, through March 31, 2016. I down loaded a brochure and they have a 2015 CB 1100 EX. The price was 10,299 Canadian. That doesn't sound right does it? After reading this again, this 10,299 offer sounds like a lease agreement. Any guys from Great Britain here? It wasn't Honda Canada, it was Honda Great Britain.

Seems like it might be 10,299 English pounds. I thought it was Honda of Canada. Guess it wasn't.

I too hope they bring back the CB1100 in 2017.
While we are dreaming about bikes...IMHO, another almost perfect Honda would be a modern version of the 1984/1985 CB650SC Nighthawk with early 70's retro styling, 75 HP, 425 pounds, fuel injected, cast wheels/tubeless tires, hydraulic clutch, hydraulic front brake, hydraulic valves, shaft drive, dual front discs, adjustable suspension, powerful horns, a center stand, ABS and a sub $9000 MSRP.
It's fun to dream...

Yes Eddie just like that only bumped to 850-900 with same exact powerband as CB1100!

When I was shopping for a new bike in 1992, the Nighthawk was very high on my list, but a leftover Honda Hawk NT650 became available and I went with that.
The nighthawk has a nice profile and is pleasing to look at.

agree with that...and the comment about a larger displacement. a 900cc (or thereabouts) would be just right ..

Dear Honda,
All I ask for to make the bike perfect is shaft drive. Pretty please!!!!!!!!
Thanks,
DaSwami

Shaft drive is one of the few significant changes that would make me consider buying a 2017. The others being a larger tank and 6 speeds (both already addressed with the 2014 model)

My only real complaint is the lack of hydraulic lifters. In my opinion that would have made that bike just so much better. The interval for lash adjustment/checks is absurd.

All those on the other side of the Pond (Pacific Ocean), often read about the desire for a larger capacity tank.I hear where you coming from. Just a inquiry, if in the more remote areas of the US on secondary roads how far between service stations ? From what I have read if planning a lap of this Continent (Aust) only on a couple of occasions would you need a range greater than 280km.
Any one thought of fitting the K10 tank (18l - 4.7gal) its larger if range is an issue?
Regards
PS.
Ride to Mitta Mitta theoretical 300 km to a tank. To Dargo 284 km (176 mile) actual and there was still some fuel to go before vapour.

Agreed Randy. The shim under bucket is robust but the interval is a PITA. I'm at 9200 miles and I haven't done my 8k valve check yet..... Just don't have the time for it.
