question @ Europeans - BLACK engine block?

[Riko_imp]

Hi everybody,

my following question is simple, I think.

will the new model be available in Europe with a Black engine block?

In the USA and Japan there is the all blacked out version, but will there be some available in Europe?

It seems that on the French website I can see an all black version.

On the UK site there isnt even an CB1100 to be found, wtf...:dodgy:
And on the German (and Belgian site where I am from) all models come with the silver engine...same for the Italians, Swedes and Austrians....

Are there any europeans here wit a all black engine, especially the French, can you guys confirm?


thx a lot

Riko

There aren't info about the release date or details for the 2014 model in Spain...

Some Photoshop on the french gallery...

P.D: My engine is "cuss" silver...

Sorry I don't know the answer. Sounds like you're a fan of the all black engine of the black version, though? I like the partially black of the U.S. 2013 model, but I think I get the appeal of the all-black, even though it's not my first choice.

Yeah big fan

I just mailed honda belgium aboutposibilities availability.

And i joined the french cb1100 board to ask it there.

didn't know there was a French CB 1100 board. It doesn't show up on google. Please let them know we have a board here if any would like to join.

There is also a British CB 1100 board.

I googled "cb1100 fr" than you get a site and you got to click further to their site.

let me post some pics to show what I am talking about

here you see also a lot of close ups of specific parts for the CB, especially the handles are very nice, also look at the smaller blinkers:

I like the Road Comet fairing on the black... it does something nice to the proportions. Not to mention adding a bit of Batman-esque coolness and mystery.

Man I'd have to rattle can those fenders to complete the look.....WOW!

I can hereby say that Honda BENELUX has told me that Honda France is the only country in Europe that offers a CB1100 with a blacked out engine!!

so if you live in europe and you wanna blackened engine, buy one in France

lol, luckely for me blacked out engines aren't "perfect black bodies" huh

Planck says they are theoretical fictions that don't occur in reality, but I've seen a few that've come close.
