Ventura now listing the CB1100

[petec_imp]

Must be brand new as I searched 2 weeks ago and they didn't list it.

Excellent product and another option for us CB'ers.

Wow! That's a pretty slick system.

They are in New Zealand so get the, I guess, Austrailian bike. If you blow up the side view picture, the rear looks like our bikes from what I can tell. The seat looks like the low version. Don't know if that makes a difference.

I'd verify with them before ordering though.

I'm glad to see this. I contacted Ventura back in April and they said they had no plans for the CB1100. I have their rack on my Duc and it's great. Can probably share parts between them. Here's the e-mail trail. I didn't understand why it mattered if they sold them NZ or not:

Hi Kevin,

Yes, Ventura is made here in New Zealand, and although all Honda's
promotional films for the CB1100, were taken in our South Island area
of Wanaka, with its lakes and beautiful scenery, the bike has never
been sold here, but has always been available in Australia.

Australia often gets a better range of models due to its market size,
in comparison to our tiny nation with a population of four million.

Sorry we can't help, at this stage, but we will ask Honda NZ if they have
any plans to bring them in, at some stage in the future.

Kind regards
Phil
