Please clarify: Can you get the 2014 (6-speed) black bike w/ ABS? ... Or is the ABS only available in the ' Delux' package in which case you can only get red?
I'd love the 4 into 2 exhaust with ABS in all black... No can do, uh?...
 
Nope can't do. The ABS only comes on the red Deluxe package. Black std..no ABS

Well, you can. You just have to buy a DLX and paint the tank, sidecovers, engine and wheels black. Piece of cake :P

In Canada the standard comes with abs which is nice. What's not nice is you can only buy a standard--dlx not available.

Crazy isn't it?
 
The market by market variance on the CB1100 still makes no sense to me. Canada isn't THAT different from the US that it should have an entirely different model. Is it???

In Australia you can't buy either model!
 
I don't get it either, seems like they would be closer, or maybe more options for everyone would be nice. Do they have to include ABS on all of the new bikes in Canada? Maybe that's why.

If I was buying now, instead of last year, I would be hard pressed to make a decision. The DLX is a really nice bike, and I would consider it, but I prefer the Standard. The totally blacked out bike, however, is not really my thing. I would have loved it 35 years ago, but today I would rather the red. So I would probably be looking for an unsold 2013, and pass up the new instruments and the 6 speed for the red standard.

At the end of the day, neither one of the 2014's available in the U.S. is a bike that is just a sure thing for me. The improvements don't overcome the things I prefer about the 2013.

Now if we had the blue standard that the Canadians have, (lucky Canadians, :D), it would be a no brainer. For my tastes, the Canadian blue standard, with the black side plates, :cool:, and ABS, is my favorite 2014 model. :thumbsup:

Cheers

Ouch! $13.9K??? They seem quite proud of that bike.:huh: They also seem to think that it's liquid cooled. Maybe when you point out the lack of liquid cooling they'll knock a few thousand off :D
