The old and the new!

[ScottSny_imp]

Here are my CBs. The silver one is a '77 750k and the new one is my newly acquired '13 1100

You can see the family lineage

For sure. Even more in these pics. Pretty cool!

I want to replace that seat on the '13 with the retro one...anybody recommend one over another? I like the old style side covers too, but I'm not sure if I want them or the '14 color matched covers more...

Nice stable, Scott! The CB750 and CB1100 is the perfect combo in my book. The only difficulty is trying to decide which one to ride on any given day

Nice pair Scott. I find the 2014 seat a bit more comfortable than the 2013 seat, but it have only had the 2014 Dlx 2 days and 300 miles of riding. There is a 2014 Dlx seat for sale on eBay.

I love the air cleaner cover (side cover) on the 750. It's just so obvious what is happening there with the air flow, the way the side cover narrows down towards the air box and carberators.

The 1100 side covers and air box covers do not express the inner workings as well as the old bike does. This concealment of function is my main difficulty with the covers on the 1100. Of course the 1100 is miles ahead of any modern sport bike as regards showing how the thing works. The plastics of the sport bikes are designed to slip through the air at speeds that will land you in jail if attempted on the street.

The mismatch between form and typical use with modern sport bikes is comical in my opinion.

Nice bikes, Scott and nicely put Greg. Is the tank on the CB750 larger in capacity?

 

[Rocky_imp]

Very nice
That's the first time I've seen two like that side by side.
Thanks for the post.

The tank on the 750 is larger, it holds over 4 gallons...closer to 5. I get almost exactly the same range on a tank on both bikes which makes me laugh! Better mpg on the 1100 makes up for less capacity in the tank

Better mpg? Maybe I'm doing it wrong. What is the range on a tank of gas in the 750?

 

[redbirds_imp]

Beautiful pair of bikes there. The Honda 4cyl DNA is evident in the CB1100.

Fine pedigree...

Agreed...you can really see the original kinship. Nice pair!

I am right around 170 miles per tank on both bikes. The 750 revs a little higher and has a louder exhaust so I like to run it out and hear it, I guess I could get better mpg if I changed my riding style but the mpg is the last thing on my mind when I ride! I'm only on my second tank on the 1100 so I am still figuring out how far I can stretch that tank! Anyone have info for me there?

the new one looks like son of the old one but is more handsome

anywhere between 125 - 155 miles with half gallon left in the tank

 

[ScottSny_imp]

The 1100 had 970 miles on it when I acquired it so I was gentle for the first couple weeks...probably why my mpg was around 170. Mostly highway miles also. The 1100 is extremely quiet compared to the 750. My wife has been with me for most of the 1100 riding so I have to ride much less aggressive or she freaks out on me lol!

Nice set!

Thanks for posting the photos of your bikes. Its cool to see the heritage we have with the truly historic CB 750. It really makes me want to find my own 750.

 

[Ridem32_imp]

The deluxe having a bigger tank I get 200+ miles per tank. Nice pair of bikes I just sold a mint 78 750
