This is a pretty neat discussion from the CB1100's primary designer about how our bikes wound up the way they are.
http://world.honda.com/design/designers-...100/page2/ Hope I'm not repeating a previous post; I did a search for it but didn't find it listed before now.

Mission accomplished I'd say..at least from my perspective.

Then you may not have seen this very cool movie! http://www.honda.co.jp/CB1100/impression...index.html I was pretty sure I wanted a CB before I saw this, but this definitely clinched the deal for me. I must have watched it 20 times waiting for my bike to arrive from Japan!

GREAT reading. Thanks for finding that!
 I am keeping a small file of all the write-ups, reviews, etc. that have been released on this bike as I like to keep them and read them years later. I also usually pass on those sorts of printouts/magazine reviews when I sell a bike to the next owner, but I don't see that happening any time soon with this bike !!!

I figured it must be my browser, but apparently not. Maybe its just down temporarily. I hope so; although its in Japanese, its subtitled and the designer comments are very interesting. Imagine the Japanese version of Willie G. Davidson...

This link seems to be taking me there today, but the video requires flash player, so it's a no-go on my iPad. It should work on a PC. Good luck!

Spaceman -
I've run across several articles and interviews on the CB1100 design and was delighted when you posted a link to this one. I'm probably bias, but I can't recall as much ink being used to detail a bike's development and design. I get the impression Honda is pretty proud of the bike. There's also some pretty cool stuff on the first page of the CB1100 designer's talk article http://world.honda.com/design/designers-talk/cb1100/
