DD's new ride

[desertdog_imp]

So, finally I get around to posting up a few pics of my new ride. First thing I did was to remove the OEM license plate mount and replaced it with a strip of 5mm aluminum bar (drilled, painted black) - but now I have a grommet hole towards the bottom of the fender! What Can I put there - a reflector?

Nice! What year is it?

Love it. That is just the bike I wanted when Honda came to the US with the CB last year.

Very nice!

2014 probably..... US market only had the red one last year i think

Great looking bike

The grommet hole below the license plate can be plugged with a license plate rubber snubber used on the early CB750. Here's an example from a 1975 CB750.

Well he is in South Africa so I have no clue as to when Honda imported them there.
And it looks like they get three colors....hmmph.

Super small market but three color choices.

Australia's a small market too and we had four choices. Go figure.

Thanks guys.

The bike is a CB1100A-EK, imported only into SA, Ireland and Cyprus. 5 speed, ABS. It's available here in black, white and red, with the same colour matching side panel.

 

[Cormanus]

Likely to be a 2014 if it has matching side panels.

 

[Randy B]

The only thing that makes me think otherwise is he said its only a 5 speed.

 

[Cormanus]

Ah! Missed that. Given the other idiosyncrasies of the models around the world, I wouldn't put it past Honda to do something completely different for South Africa, Ireland and Cyprus. But I'm o closer to understanding why.

 

[Randy B]

Well since they retooled the factory to produce the 6 speed, I doubt they are making any more of the 5 speed motors.

 

[Cormanus]

I reckon they must be selling some older stock in those markets. If you look here you can see that the red and white models appear to come with the normal silver side covers but the black version has black side covers. That's what made me think it was a 2014 model. In Ireland you an have any colour you want as long as it's red. It's only 5 speed too.

Three guys walk into a bar, an Irishman, A South African, and a Cypriot...

 

[Cormanus]

Cypriot says, "I've got a Honda CB100."

He orders a beer and sits down.

I'm waiting.

A CB 100?
