To me the bike looks great. When I was young I had a new ‘69 CB450. Loved it. Then, when that CB750 came out in ‘70, I wanted it in the worst way, but it was just a little too much dough, and I never got one. This is not a perfect copy, but it is a good interpretation, with some more modern touches. And, at least to my old-fashioned eyes, it looks a lot better than the old Nighthawk series. There has got to be a market for people who don’t want a Harley (or Harley clone) with a mile-long wheelbase, but by the same token don’t want some Space-Wars-looking monstrosity. In other words, a good-looking “standard” naked bike with up-dated but traditional lines, guts and maneuverability. This sure looks like it fills the bill. I’d buy one.

Honda knows what they’re doing! This bike is spot on with both the big displacement air-cooled motor and the sweet styling. It’s for us experienced riders who love big inch. Newbies or chicks quit complaining! I’ve owned a CBX, a ‘94 CB1000F, ‘90 CB400F, and currently ride a Kawi ER6-N. I love naked bikes and the ability the modify or customize them. A smaller displacement stablemate would bo OK too, but the 1100 is a must! The syling may be retro, but it’s still classically beautiful. Ther styling of my ER6-N is euro cool right now, but I’m not sure it will age very well. I can only inagine what the 1100 will look like with a trick 4-2-1 exhaust. Bring it on! I’ll make my own 1100R.

I own a 1983 CB1100F and a 1983 CB1000C. The CB1100F is a true super bike and a sweet piece of engineering – it’s an awesome ride. In this day and age, 1100cc is considered mid-sized (by the cruiser crowd). I’m glad to see Honda considering a retro version – I’d like to have the new version in my garage parked next to my ‘83…
