question @ Europeans - BLACK engine block?

[Riko_imp]

Hi everybody,

my following question is simple, I think.

will the new model be available in Europe with a Black engine block?

In the USA and Japan there is the all blacked out version, but will there be some available in Europe?

It seems that on the French website I can see an all black version.

On the UK site there isnt even an CB1100 to be found, wtf...
And on the German (and Belgian site where I am from) all models come with the silver engine...same for the Italians, Swedes and Austrians....

Are there any europeans here wit a all black engine, especially the French, can you guys confirm?


thx a lot

There aren't info about the release date or details for the 2014 model in Spain...

Some Photoshop on the french gallery...







P.D: My engine is "cuss" silver...

Sorry I don't know the answer. Sounds like you're a fan of the all black engine of the black version, though? I like the partially black of the U.S. 2013 model, but I think I get the appeal of the all-black, even though it's not my first choice.

Yeah big fan

I just mailed honda belgium aboutposibilities availability.

And i joined the french cb1100 board to ask it there.

didn't know there was a French CB 1100 board. It doesn't show up on google. Please let them know we have a board here if any would like to join.

There is also a British CB 1100 board.

I googled "cb1100 fr" than you get a site and you got to click further to their site.

let me post some pics to show what I am talking about




here you see also a lot of close ups of specific parts for the CB, especially the handles are very nice, also look at the smaller blinkers:

I like the Road Comet fairing on the black... it does something nice to the proportions. Not to mention adding a bit of Batman-esque coolness and mystery.

I can hereby say that Honda BENELUX has told me that Honda France is the only country in Europe that offers a CB1100 with a blacked out engine!!

so if you live in europe and you wanna blackened engine, buy one in France
