My computer is acting like an idiot again so I can't open your link, but the only 2015 bikes we were able to verify were a run of 200 EX ABS Special Edition with mag wheels that was released in Asia. A couple of members have them.

It's in the history section of the forum. Maybe later my internet will get stable and I will be able to click your link and see if it's the same bike

Interesting... no idea which markets yet though.

Thanks Kenny

I would sure love to see that cb1300 in Canada...what a beaut of a bike!

 

[LongRanger_imp]

Agreed, but it reminds me of an FJR1100.

Am I seeing black fenders on the non-EX CB1100 or is that just the lighting in the photo?

Found some bigger pictures here.

Look good. If they do go into production I wonder if we will get to see them in OZ. Unlikely I think.

Cheers

That 1300.. <drooling emoticon>

So, it looks like they went with the black "racer" concept model instead of the yellow concept bike.

The black one appears to use more of the current stock parts (like the gas tank) and was probably the more cost effective option.

It'll be interesting to see if the two CB11s make it to North America

This link looks to be the Honda site in Japan. Some killer pics of the "Super Bol" whatever :dodgy: and a stripped down version that looks an awful lot like our CB, except somewhat updated plus it definitely has some components from the CB parts bin...mirrors and so forth...worth a look

Sadly, it's only available in Japan and Europe. On the bright side, this version is available in the U.S.

The Australian Government is considering relaxing import restrictions on vehicles from like markets, maybe from next year. The change would be limited to new vehicle models not available in Australia, that met 'global design and safety standards' (whatever they might be) and, in the case of cars, come from right-hand drive markets. See this report.

Maybe Last Blast will become Penultimate Last Blast?

Hmmm ...

Triumph had a lot of special edition versions of their Bonneville/Thruxton line before they introduced their new classics.

I wonder if the CB1100 "special editions" are simply to bridge the gap between the current model and the concept model. Good way to get us to buy the current models instead of waiting for the new one. Not that this necessarily applies in the US.

Anyway, that's my conspiracy theory :dodgy:

If you translate this Honda Japan news link it says they are only taking orders from April 11 to June 1 for the 2016 CB1100. It also says they are only making 200 of the Black Special Editions and 250 of the EX Special Editions. I assume this is for the Japan market. The Canada site has the Black model listed, wonder well else they'll be sold and when...

Love the CB 11 with the wire spokes.

I would default on my student loans for that SUPER BOL D'OR...dear god...

I know what you mean. I think that is one machine I'd trade the CB1100 for. I do not say that lightly.
