Canadian or European CB

[Greg Davis_imp]

I have a 2013 with 500 miles on it. However, I really, really, love the spoke wheels, the 4 into 2 pipes. I was thinking about trying to purchase a CB from either Canada, if they offer spokes and pipes. I just don't that to go through the expense or hassel of converting mine. Rather buy another CB Anyone know how this might be accomplished or if Canada has a CB with spokes and pipes. ?? thank you

I'd just buy this and a set of spoked wheels and call it good!

I think it takes new calipers and and spacer work on the rear at least. There is a thread somewhere that explains it. Not a cheap mod.

Ok, here is one guy that did it. Post 3. wire spoke wheels

Aussieflyer is working along those lines. See This Post.

Cheers

The CBs that come stock with spoked wheels are the EX models sold in Europe and Japan. Unless you have very deep pockets and a lot of time and patience, I wouldn't recommend trying to import one. Before you could pick up your bike at the port it would have to go through a DOT and EPA process to change everything to U.S. standards. I used to know a guy that imported high end cars and the process cost thousands and routinely took 6-8 weeks (and that's for someone who did it on a regular basis).

You'd be much better off buying the parts and having a local mechanic install 'em.

Hi, just an FYI- Canadian CB11 owner here and I can tell you the Canadian version of the CB11 comes w/ 4 into 1 only and does not offer spokes. Sorry.

Even though Honda is offering the CB1100 in Canada in 2016, it doesn't look like it comes with either 4 into 2 or spoked wheels.

Canada only received the CB in 2013 and 2014 and they came with cast wheels only.
I find it hard to believe that a 2016 model would be offered in such a small market as Canada and not in the USA.
Will just have to wait and see.

I feel very lucky to have the chrome exhaust that comes with the DLX, it always looks great, never any brown. The 4 into 4 looks super but the headers would get brown. I would like to have spoked wheels though. :clap:

i agree, I can only think that the 2 models are so similar that they are actually a "North American model" , with minor differences between Can and USA... black fenders vs chrome etc (basically small color differences). USA will not be metric of course..other than that if you look at Honda Canada and Honda USA websites -the bikes are quite similar..

jrns, the curious thing is that Honda Canada is offering a 2016 model (See here) whereas Honda US is still offering the 2013-14 models. ([url=http://powersports.honda.com/2014/cb1100.aspx]See here). Except for the photo of the recent release, Canada's 2016 model looks a lot like the standard 2010-2014 models we all know and love.

Like Rocky, I find it curious that Canada has a 2016 offering while the US does not.

Edit: The UK still offers the [url=http://www.honda.co.uk/motorcycles/range/street/cb1100-ex-2014/overview.html]CB1100 EX.

I always thought the question was African or European

 

[LongRanger_imp]

I bit. One of my favorite movies of all times. I knew exactly what you were referring to. If you ask Siri that question, she's clueless.

 

[0011bc_imp]

DUDE. I NEED THAT TANK, SIDE CVERS AND BLACK FENDERS.

I'm surprised Honda USA doesn't simply just update their website and call the 2013-2014 bike a "2016"...

Is Honda still making it though, or are they still trying to clear out the remaining 13-14s and just keeping the bike on the website to make this easier? It's basically impossible for a company to change a model year after the fact, so they can't reissue "old" inventory.

Yeah, I think they are clearing out '13 and '14 inventory. Odd, that the ST1300 is still on the Honda USA website. The last model year was 2012 so I doubt there is any "new" inventory left to clear out.

[the Ferret]

For the right price , like $6995 I'd buy another ST 1300 just to keep for back up lol

if its old inventory your right, never thought of that.

Motorcycledaily has a interesting article

Honda Unveils Unexpected CB1100 Concept at Osaka Motorcycle Show « MotorcycleDaily.com – Motorcycle News, Editorials, Product Reviews and Bike Reviews

It's a concept tarted up like triumph did the new thruxtons.. So I'd probably expect it in some fashion in the 2017/8 line up, probably after reports of old stick have sold
