Honda brings back the UJM CB1100

[Bonz]

If I wanted a Harley, I'd already have one!

Seriously, if I went with a cruiser/tourer, I'd be looking to the Victory motorcycles. Spent a number of dealer ride days on those bikes, and they are sweet, along with being plenty big for taller guys.

As well, the Goldwing variation on the cover of the Feb 2013 Motorcyclist magazine is a nice bike. Built like a cruiser/tourer, actually caught my eye, whereas the traditional Gold Wing never has done much for me.

Ben,
I like the cb1100 on the way to the good ol USA but I love this one. I hope we can look past the vtwin and sell some real bikes for them. Honda just seems to get it. 70 miles per gallon may just get me to buy one used in a few years. It also reminds me of another bike I loved, mine. I think I got 30 mpg if I was good.

Thanks for those vids Garrett...The more i look at this bike the better it gets...i mean at first glance it doesnt look ...styling wise like its that stunning ...more subtle but keeps giving me a better impression each time i take a closer look...This bike is a winner all the way around...i surely hope its a sales success....it certainly has alot going for it.

I am a member on the Kawasaki ZRX forum, and the guys over there are dismayed with the pale power numbers, even compared to a stock 15 year old ZRX 1100, and certainly to the ZRX 1200.

Just goes to show the different strokes for different folks theory is alive and well.

I LOVE the 120+ rear wheel horsepower and 80+ ft/lbs of torque my ZRX 1200 puts out in it's mildly modded form, however I LOVE my 80SG, and look forward to getting my 80G rehabbed and on the road soon.

The Honda will be very much like the XS in terms of performance, even though the XS was a hot rod and the CB is mild. Funny how times change, eh?

Just look at that exhaust. I wonder if we could use it on an xs?

[Bonz]

Speaking of XS exhaust, has anyone tried a ZRX 1100/1200 exhaust onto an XS?

I've been a fan of this bike ever since it was shown as a concept. I just got back from the motorcycle show here in Cleveland, and I gotta say it's even prettier in person. The riding position is nearly identical to my old XS standard. If it had shaft drive it would be perfect. Now I just have to figure out how to come up with 10k. Heres a couple snapshots of it.

Oh my god, I can only imagine the convenience and pleasure of going to a dealer and buying parts. Im grateful for Bikebandit.com, Babbittsonline.com, fleabay and other internet sources but sometimes it would be nice to get parts the same day and locally. ...And not having to rely on used parts.

Yeah, but you'd choke on the prices...

That's why I bought my Harleys; you can get parts for those so many places, and like-new take-off parts are also easy to find.

sharpe looking bike,just wish it had the duel pipes,think it would look better Imho. That's why I prefer the look of the Triump over the Honda.
