They were not successful really. the Moto Guzzi Convert was first and most successful auto bike but it was not 'really' an auto and if the merkin cops had not bought em by the boat load I doubt they would have gone on as long.. I'd love one though...Originally Posted by Bonez

Agreed. Just enlightening the poster automatic m/c have been done before Paul.
Oh and a green rep for the arses on Hondas comment.

Think about it... finally a bike that you can ride AND eat that pie.
Forum whore
Cheers - Dunno if you've ever seen a convert but the cop ones had an extra rear brake caliper to stop it creeping forward when the kick stand was down. Office Ponch could leave the bike idling in gear while writing out the ticket and if Ed decided 'screw this' and did a runner all he had to do was jump on and twist the throttle....
Ah the good old days eh? The golden era when a Moto Guzzi tourer could still out run a car....
C'mon lets ride....
Hmmm wonder if the 1100F will have the same "lets grind the 4-1 collector" issue of past offerings of 3 decades ago.
Throw the R tank on it, chrome 4 into 2 exhaust with conical mufflers on it and it would look damn sight better.

There may still be one down your way Paul. A guy who lived in Tokoroa and moved to Wellington has/had one. Shouldn't be hard to track down. His name is Mike Wolffram and he used to be president of the Funeral Directors Association!

Which is exactly what the rider will land on when it ejects him from the bike!!

I thought the Honda DN-01 Concept Motorcycle was something else..... what else I am not too sure of just yet.
Would you like some CANDY!?!?!
I like both the CB1100F and CB1100R!! Both look awesome!!
And the CB1100F tank is probably the sweetest tank since the GB.

Well I happen to own a GBAnd the Fs tank is shite compared to it
It takes its design cues of the CB400/4 but doesn't quite make.
IMHO obviously.

DN-01 only if they do it with as a manual (fu*k the auto) and with an adjustable blade. It's only got a680cc V-twin for fu*k sakesWhen is a bike with the V5 1000cc+ coming out
Don't like the EVO6, and think they are nuts doing the CB1100R (Puke, leave the originals alone IMHO).
Honda ya can do better than that

"channellling the Pleideans"
I want a CB1100R in the worst* possible way. (As in having already emailed that front three quarter pic to my dealer and saying "Get me one")
* I think I mean best possible way. Whatever, I want one.

"channellling the Pleideans"
So looking at the Cycleworld Forums yesterday I came across this link.
CB1100F ON THE ROAD Check the pics then hit the "promotional movie" link
If its a production bike and IF you remember the days when horizontal carbs (with pod filters) and 4 into 1 exhausts, and frames made of al dente spaghetti and Crosby sliding those big Kwaks around and Freddie Spencer and Rainey and Eddie Lawson.........
anyway: I am smack bang in the middle of their target market AND I WANT ONE.
plus Ive sold my CB400F's: theres a hole in my heart (I mean garage)
anyway: its a fine looking bike IMO.

I love the blade.
But I got to admit, CB1100F is the best looking naked bike I have ever seen. Hmmm time to show it to my dad, he was looking for a naked bike...
