Honda CB1100
« on: July 15, 2010, 08:28:32 PM »
Why did Honda spend billions of yen developing this beautiful bike ( well I think it is beautiful anyway ) and air & oiled cooled to boot, then say that there would be not enough interest in Europe to sell it here ? only for sale in the land of the rising sun!!. Fortunately we got the hideous DN-01 intsead . That sold well. NOT.

Makes me think of a modern 400/4 on steroids

I have written to Honda UK concerning the possibility of the model being launched in the UK...no reply as yet. I have implied that I have bought Honda's for 30 years and will be buying a new retro bike within 2 years...it may sway there decision...lol...anyhow I am sure all previoues posts have been on 'Youtube' to see the video's...nice bike
