Haha hey I told my wife I'm just restoring the GS to save money, because when this GS gets moving I can sell the Ducati. I paid only $150 more for the whole GS than the valve adjustment and timing belt replacement on the Multi cost me.

Or at least offer an SLE model ( Signed Larry Edition ).Originally posted by steve murdoch View Post
Edit: I like the bike. However, as someone who has owned many 900 and 1100F's, I remember telling myself that I would buy that retro 1100F that came out...I didn't as it did not impress when I went to look at one. I will add that this one is a bit more true to it's tribute mark.Last edited by Vmass; 04-15-2020, 05:15 PM.Comment

Did I miss the retro 1100F, or is that what I thought was a retro CB1100. That one must have impressed very few, left-overs everywhere for yrs.1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw. ZL600 Eliminator, 1999 Bandit 1200S, 2005 Bandit 1200S, 2000 Kaw. ZRX 1100Comment

That's the one, it was available in red or black. Early on it was touted as a Retro F.Originally posted by rphillips View PostComment

Retro F, dang that was as far off as the retro Camaro. Neither one even close.1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw. ZL600 Eliminator, 1999 Bandit 1200S, 2005 Bandit 1200S, 2000 Kaw. ZRX 1100Comment

I think what happened early on was that people heard " Retro " and " 1100 " and put the two together and started the " F " chatter. It is much more reminiscent of the 750 of the 70's, which I believe was Honda's intent.Originally posted by rphillips View PostComment

Seems like Honda might be taking another stab at the retro market.
Looks good except of course for the exhaust, hopefully they won't mute the engine this time.

I won't say I'll immediately run out to buy one, but it's by far, way, way, much better than that retro CB1100 they had (or have). Just my opinion.1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw. ZL600 Eliminator, 1999 Bandit 1200S, 2005 Bandit 1200S, 2000 Kaw. ZRX 1100Comment

I like the look of the Honda. Rear end low, single sided swing arm is not period correct but looks good, muffler looks more "normal". How about a CBX!?Current Rides: 82 GS1100E, 00 Triumph 955 Speed Triple
