Would anyone know if New Zealand will get these new Hondas?
Cheers.

One would think we might, given the interest. But it all depends on Blue Wing Honda, who don't really care what we want (kind of a reflection of Honda's seeming lack of interest in Honda owner groups, market surveys, that kind of thing). We'll get what Honda (Blue Wing or the Honda Japan) decide we want, not what we actually do want.

But realistically, how many of these could they expect to sell in our small market? A handful a year?

The only way to get a definitive answer would be to contact BlueWing direct.
It is quite possible though they won't know anymore then we do yet.

I don't understand it but I quite like the R version (http://jalopnik.com/cars/tokyo-auto-show/tokyo-motor-show-honda-unveils-cb1100r-314331.php).

MMmmmmm,
Might have to wait 4 to 6 years before the Importers pick them up from the Jap auctions.....
Will be so cool though.
I'm liking those more than the Predotor.
I guess that is childhood memories coming back.

No... what I really want to know is... are we going to get this Honda.

I actually like the look of it.

Really? I look back on the endurance racers and the CB1100R with a certain nostalgia and like the looks of the faired one, but if those retro-bikes weigh and handle as in days of yore I'd go for the Predator everytime.

Hmm, the one discotex posted up looks really hot for an aircooled machine.

Here's a naked Phillip Island race winning mc22 a little smaller than the CB1100 but still pretty in my opinion. Thanks to Victoria Motorcycle Wreckers.

I always said if they build that 1100F I would have one. (having a thing for CB400F's helps).

But yes be interested to see. If they can sell (rather, try and sell) that CB1000F for $20 large then the 1100F has got to be, what, $35k?
