How's the CB1100 selling?

[JEEPRUSTY]

It is hardly underpowered. Its just not insanely over powered.

Agree! Over powered is the order of the day....except when it comes to Harley's that is.

Its current version is far better than the original
ANd who does not like old bikes on the basis if brand?
Fanboys are for iphones

My '83 1100f with the smallest goodyear slick, 33 smoothies and v/h sidewinder went 10.19 at 127 and change....

Its not trying to be a dragster
Its trying to channel the UJM vibe
It has notching to apologize for

The dealers should install apes and tassels. Then they might get rid of a few.

Even the notching is not too bad. More badass.

Maybe, but they aren't selling with that vibe.

Whether its currently under or over powered a few more ft lbs and a lower price may be what is needed to sell a few more of these bikes.

Speaking of old Honda 1100's........My favorite Honda 1100? Yep, 30 years old and will still smoke a new CB1100. Give an 1100F a run for it's money too, in fact, was the fastest production motorcycle ever made in 1983. This is my Candy Glory Red 86, favorite Honda color of all time, also had an 80 CBX in the same color. Absolutely stunning in person. Enjoy!

My buddy had one. Seemed very cramped and tough on the eyes.

But that motor. Very nice.

Not sure if it qualifies as over powered, but it seemed OK...

How about this custom CB1100 with SOHC togs and a beautiful titanium pipe.

Wasn't there a non-US Suzuki retro that was made to compete with the new CB a year or two ago? Anyone remember this? I swear I read about it but now I can't find anything on the interwebs about it.

I had a guy on one of those Urals (???) with a sidecar ask me if my 1100g was the "New Retro". I walked a little taller the rest of that day. Guess the paint job and case polishing was worth it.

I ordered mine from my dealer 2 weeks before Honda announced they would be coming to the states, so my dealer never even had one get on his floor. He has another ( an ABS model) coming in next month.

The Honda dealership in Hendersonville, NC had several in the showroom and several more in crates, told me they hadn't sold ONE. Maybe you could get a discount from them, fly in and ride home? They have them listed for $7959.00

I don't think that GSX "competes" with the CB1100. I think it blows it's doors off in every way.
