CB1100

Thoughts and opinions. THANKS.

In my opinion I love the look like an old street cruiser that I spent many years on. A little low on horse power and not sure what goodies are available in the aftermarket regarding exhaust, cams etc but as I said I like the looks. If anything like the bikes of old probably as bullet proof as anything else.

I thought I wanted on until I read the specs and sat on one. Under powered and a little cramped for me...

Agree, they sure did seem bigger back in the day....

My first bike was nighthawk s 700. Awesome first bike.

Doesn't matter what WE think as most of us own/ride F6B's which are worlds apart from a CB1100.

If that's the type of bike that ya like, get one! :yes:

I also considered the CB1100. I like it a lot. However, apart from the F6B I also have one of these. A 2002 version of the CB750. Similar to your Nighthawk.
I found the CB1100 to be physically the same size as the CB750, with the disadvantage of requiring more frequent servicing and of course valve clearance adjustment, which the CB750 does not require at all, due to hydraulic tappetts.
The bonus with the CB1100 is fuel injection, more power, more mpg and the option of ABS. I could not justify the financial cost to upgrade because the CB750 does the same job with minimal outlay, as well as adequate performance for a naked bike.
If the CB1100 is your type of bike, I don't think you will be disappointed.

My dealer has one of the non ABS versions on the floor and a good deal could be made since Winter has started. This bike just screams Cafe conversion to the point, I swear, my tools were vibrating in my tool box at the thought of a good Winter project. I've been scratching this itch since 1965 and I just can't justify another project even though my friends are all into Cafe bikes and repli-racers. I'm too old to let peer pressure get to me once again.

I don't know whether other people have spotted this, announced at the same time as the new Valkyrie is a make over for the CB1100...............spoked wheels instead of cast, headlight re- positioned, new side panels, but more importantly..........a larger fuel tank. Now 17.5 litres. No word on price etc.

First thing I thought when the 2013 was introduced was man wouldn't be awesome if if had spoke wheels and dual quad exhaust.

My other new bike is CB1100. For me, the old man that I am it has plenty of power and does everything I want. I have changed exhaust which is about 6 pounds lighter and has a nice chrome finish. I have done a lot of other things to suit my taste..........unfortunately, the only place to get good aftermarket stuff is Japan, so it is expensive and time consuming.
The bike is a blast and wasn't that expensive for less than 8900 bucks.
