Took time to wash my CB today after being caught in the rain. I like a garage with Japanese four's in it, new and old.

Those 2013s look so much better with red side covers.

I have always liked the 2013 more than the later models for many of the same reasons Guth. It would be nice to have the 6 speed. I do prefer the red side covers though.Guth_imp said:

Both CDN CB's, 2013 -14 have the black alloys with the polished silver rims.
...unfortunately the 2016 has black alloys...and in my opinion, almost entire black CB loses is lustre...it's almost total black appearance was the only reason , I did not trade in my white CB for the 2016 model at that time...despite of 2 showroom visits..

Couldn't agree with you more Guth!Guth_imp said:
A recent Motorweek show segment called "Two-Wheelin" reviewed the '17 EX and the host made a comment to the effect that the CB was a mix-mash of metals and textures.... I think that's truly one of my favorite things about the CB! All versions except the all black standard have that look.
For anyone interested... I'll have a set of '14 DLX side panels available because I'm going back to the silver color.

Thanks ferret, the GS still needs new carb boots, tires, tubes, drive chain, handle bars, pod filters, cables and a complete exhaust system. My rattle can paint job looks okay from about five feet away but will do for now. I'm amazed at how many original parts are still around. This thing is a money pit but I'm having fun with it.The ferret_imp said:

That is a unique picture, Redbirds, i'm working on something similar, someone else has the same 1100 as i do and i hope to make a group photo, in the mean time here's my 40 year old cb550 making friends with the new cb1100, there is some resemblance there i think.

Hey, I had just the same CB550K in the 80's, same color, but stock. That was a great ride, never had any issues.max_imp said:That is a unique picture, Redbirds, i'm working on something similar, someone else has the same 1100 as i do and i hope to make a group photo, in the mean time here's my 40 year old cb550 making friends with the new cb1100, there is some resemblance there i think.

Hey, max, did your CB1100 come with the tank piping?

Wow, I love that cross over/twisted header on the CB550. Is/was that a common style? I have never seen one like that before. Beautiful. Although it looks like the 2nd cylinder is running hot.

Stock exhaust of the CB550K was a 4 in 4:

The 550 has such a fine looking motor. These older style Japanese fours are things of beauty.max_imp said:That is a unique picture, Redbirds, i'm working on something similar, someone else has the same 1100 as i do and i hope to make a group photo, in the mean time here's my 40 year old cb550 making friends with the new cb1100, there is some resemblance there i think.

Same bike and fella 40 years apart, still fit the ago leather jacket as well he he.
So yes, i also had those 4 pipes, unfortunately they only lasted 3 years before rotting holes in them, bought the bike in Amsterdam, built a crate for it and imported it to New Zealand, apparently there is one more in nz but this model was not imported here.
And like the cb1100 people come over and have a nice talk about their past bikes.
Auf wiedersehen max
