Honda CB1100 at 2010 Tokyo Show

Hmmm on my third revisit of the images something is not quite right ....... I'm thinking it is almost too, well, ahem, "nice" looking.

It's missing a bit of rough or attitude ..... maybe it has a kick arse power surge at 6000 or something, or the muffler cores open up and it becomes rowdy .......

Meh, nothing a few hours in the shed could not fix


VFR1200 picture .......

Interesting - they appear to have taken the CBR1000 fairing and given it a huge erection so it protrudes out the front like a school boys pants in a strip club.

You talking about the CB?
If so, you're right. Dunno what it is - the engine looks OK, the shapes are alright, but somehow it looks too civlised.
The wheels, perhaps?
Colour? Maybe if it was all black it would look more betterer...

[nudemetalz]

They going with their '60's race colours by the looks, complete with the wing badge.
I reckon it needs some 4 into 4's.

The fairing "hides" a deformable structure designed to assist riders in the event of a collision.
Feck, it's horrible.
The CB1100 is sorta...new...but it's old....but it's.........nothing much.........

it is ..its AWFUL..looks like they were instructed to use all the bits left over from parts bins,and to use shapes that refer back to 80s bikes...

[Indiana_Jones]

Will it sell well? - depends on the price in NZ.

Not if Honda keep their current prices.

They're dreaming at the moment....

Apart from $4k off the ticket price, and 0% interest finance deals, y'mean?

Sorry...I've gotta say this...you ride a boxer? THE ugliest engine layout ever built...the rest of the bike follows suit. Hardly ground breaking either. Only my opinion of course.

Too bad the ticket price is $4k more then the other Jappas lol

0% interest is nice though

I like it, But I would do this to it (see attached Piccy) Trim some fat, lose the screen Black Rims fork gators etc, It's got loads of potential and is a great starting point. wish I was as handy with tools as i am a computer

Spoken like a true "I've-just-got-a-sparkly-new-angry-snarling-snorting-growling-SteveMcQueen-lookalike-beast-and-can-say-WTF-I-Like"-ist.
Or summat.

[naphazoline]

I like the cb1100.

Maybe not in it's standard trim,as much as i'd like it caf'ed out a bit more.

On the otherhand.......WTF are they trying to do with the VFR?

.I have never said teh boxer is a beautiful bike to look at,nor have i said that my bike is nicer looking than any of the bikes discussed in this thread.Does the fact that i own a ugly bike disqualify me from having an opinion?

Sorry I've obviously hurt your feelings so badly...it's just that...that...it's...well you summed up boxers so well with your opinion of the Honda is all. And I didn't realize that I wasn't allowed to make a comparison.
The comparison...was only my opinion of course..I did say that. So yes...we're all allowed opinions.
