   clicked on it,HEY I like that ,help keep track of all that crap too.

Yea, that's nice.  Not sure I have the patience to keep it updated...

Doesn't require patience. Requires 20 seconds of your time. Even easier when fueling a car or something that you don't have to hold the nozzle. Other than that, put the nozzle up, send a text, and get the hell outta there. The mpg for your last tank will be waiting for you at your destination.

Wow, looked up the specs and they're actually showing the forks are 41mm. I guess that bike is bigger than it looks to make the forks appear small like that.

I found the pic online I think I just googled 2013 cb1100 cafe it's been a couple months. What I found out was the cb1100 has been out in Japan for 2-3 years already and in US and Europe this year for that exhaust it's gonna come from overseas. I actually found some vids of different exhaust on YouTube. Congrats on the new CB, Good Luck.

Thanks for your quick reply. This is a totally unique 4-1 system
in this picture I have not been able to find. Staintune and Pipe
Masters out of Australia are the one's I have found available
and they are hugely expensive... May have to modify stock one.

I stopped by the local Stealership for some parts yesterday and asked the salesman. It's due in sometime near April... (bike not the exhaust)
Along with two of the new 500 trio.

 

The CBR500R sportbike, CB500F naked... and later the third version aimed at the Dual-sport crowd CB500X adventure will arrive. HE's all giddy because for now it's been either a 250 or a gawd aweful fast 600, no novice level in betweeners.

Oh and I drooled over the still "new" 2010 Sabre that's there... again with the siren song it has........ calling me over to her corner of the showroom...  waiting for me to take her back to my place.

[2013 CB1100]

Watching you tube videos yesterday and it showed the tip of the
Cb1100 muffler where the exhaust comes out has a flap. Does
any one know if it can be removed to open up the stock system?

DOOOO   ITTTTTT !!!!!!!!!



well,i dont know about $425 for heated gripslol. A good pair of heated gloves is a fraction of that.Works better and will work on all your bikesSee,I just made it cheaper! Now....DOOO ITTTTT!!!!!!!!

I'm not pleased for these reasons:

1) The bike isn't made for someone over 6' tall.

2) The bike resembles as 1979+ CB, and not the earlier years. Why choose 1979?


I'll hold out on a bike that suits taller riders and takes a more classic approach.

[sgtslag]

1979 was the year they came out with the DOHC engine, so it seems logical to pattern off of that somewhat.  I agree, though, it looks to be a dead-ringer for the 1979+ models.  I like that, but not everyone is a fan of those bikes' design.  Honda appears to be caching in on the nostalgia marketing so common of late:  bring back designs/items from 20-40 years ago, and get the baby-boomers all excited about reliving their childhood dreams...  It seems to be successful in other markets, why not motorcycles?

It looks like the '79 updated for the new millenium.  It's a return to the classic, tear-drop tank design, the classic engine design (outwardly, at least), with modern updates.  The EFI system, single exhaust muffler (four was hell to replace!), an OEM oil cooler (leaner burning/Ethanol fuels, burn much hotter, and the DOHC's ran hot when only air-cooled, back in the day...), modern disc brakes, heated grips, etc...  I'd love to test drive one, but it would not be a good fit for us for our style of riding.  That's a good thing, as I don't need another payment book.


With everybody trying to be H-D, for the past decade, this is really surprising.  Instead of following, Honda is actually trying to lead, albeit with an old design re-shoed.  I like it.  Time will tell, though.  Cheers!

[750K8]

Yea, but the problem is that taller riders can't ride it!

Not that I don't like the 1979 (I think the earlier years look better;  I think there's probably a general consensus on that statement), but the fact that it has a low saddle seat and rearward footpegs render this bike useless for many American Riders.

I have a 1979 CB750k, 1977 CB750, 1972 CB450k, and a 1978 CB125s in my garage. The only uncomfortable bike out of all of those is the 1979 CB750k, no question. My legs are squinched, and it's just uncomfortable (although it rides very smooth). I always felt that my feet were in a bind while riding it which is a safety concern. I gave the bike to my father and he's fine on it. Even the CB128s is FAR more comfortable to me than the 79 CB750k, believe it or not. Hell, I'd drive that one 50+ miles without being sore.

It just seems that Honda could have been more mindful of taller riders, which many of us relatively are. Would have been better if they recreated the earlier years first, but that's my opinion.

[Hoosier Daddy]

Ya know, the more I think about it, for the money, I'd buy a well cared for '90s Big One.

Pumping out 100bhp at 8500rpm the CB1000 has a top speed of around 140mph.
The engine is capable of producing a lot more power than it actually does, but Honda have tuned it for low and mid-range output, and brute acceleration, rather than top speed. This is because without a fairing on it, the CB1000 is a struggle to ride at speeds over 120mph. So it might as well be tuned for eyeball-popping acceleration instead.

That's a classic problem with Japanese bikes:  North Americans are much taller than nearly all Japanese folks.  I agree, it would be nicer if they made them for taller folks.  I've learned the (limited) importance of seat height, since I got back into riding back in 2006.

A friend's wife is just the opposite:  short.  She got her endorsement, but the Wing they rode was too tall for her.  She needs something around 28" for a seat height, and few bikes go that low.  The ones that do, tend to be too short for her husband!

I'm 5" 11", and my '79 K was alright.  My wife is the same height, but different leg lengths...  We coped well enough on the K, but our Voyager is much better (lower seat height, but still comfortable for our legs on long rides -- could always be better, though).  On 8-hour rides, I don't know that anything would be "ideal".  After so many hours, it seems like nothing is comfortable -- which is a good excuse for us to take a break.


My father's '74 Suzuki 500 Titan had an unusually long wheel base.  He is around 6' tall, and he rode that thing across five states touring, often two-up.  Every bike seems to be quite unique in seat height, wheel base, and how far forward the foot pegs are.  Makes it complicated to try to find one you like in comfort, and everything else!  Seat height usually get you in the ball park...  Cheers!
