2019 CB1100 Range - potential of being my next bike? 

I've just bought an RS. It's beautifully made and so well proportioned. It's not physically big, but feels very solid and 'beefy'. Nice deep sound to it. Cracking bike, ignore numbers on paper the motor and gearbox are sublime.

People of a certain age love retro bikes, reminds us of the 70's.

When i was riding my old 1973 Honda 754cc bike, i used to go around 120 MPH on the freeway. It was a great fun bike. These bikes remind me so much of my old bike, looks wise.

I keep bouncing back and forth between this and a Z900RS.

The most true to the original,and most beautiful retro bike out there.Any version would do me fine.👍

I have had only classic bikes for the last 5 years, (one of which is a 1971 CB750-4) but I bought a second hand CB1100SA-E with 3000miles on it in March this year (It looks like the EX) because I wanted old looks with modern benefits. Boy, did I get it! People do a double take as they think its old (restored). The only reason I'm here and not out on it now is the bloody English summer....the rain is a bit warmer than usual! 😂Import one.....you'll love it.

I own a 2011 model, brilliant bike, would highly recommend! Plenty of grunt for any type of fun.

yes please do the video on the importing laws.

I couldn't agree more! I myself want to get the CB1100EX since I'm a fan of the chrome and wired wheels.

Do it. Do it. Do it. I have had all sorts of bikes over the last 30 years and got my CB1100 EX this year. Its fabulous. It has enough 'oomph' to be fun and is a dream to ride at sensible speeds. Its beautifully made and looks a proper 'bobby dazzler'. 👌

That is an amazing machine. I like the 2019 HONDA CB1100 RS the best. I like the colors, and the mag wheels.

I had an 80 CB 750 custom and loved it.I dreamt Honda would bring it back and they did,only with a bigger engine.I must have one,and I would bet the farm that this bike would easily outlive me.👍

Love to see someone go through the import process and document it for all of us interested. Shame on Honda for not giving us the choices we should have, perhaps my brand loyalty will disappear just like our consumer choices. A word of wisdom for Honda Australia "the customer is always right".

They don't import into the US either. I bought a new, old stock 2014 last month. I have to say, I love it!!

Thanks mate for your no bullshit and mad music accompanied vids

Yeah good idea to release a video on importing a bike of a similar standard to Oz compliance regs.

Love my 2014 CB1100. The 2019 is pretty sweet!

This was a outstanding Video Sir.

My 2014 CB1100 is perfect. Definitely “10” on smile scale

I've always loved the CB line.

This is a really great bike and comfortable ,easy to drive .

Yes please, I would be very much interested in how much it would cost to import, & have a CB1100RS ADR compliant!

CB1100RS will do me.

This bike is so Smoooooth to ride. I love mine :)

Interesting as I’ve got a 2007 Triumph Speedmaster and agree there’s more than enough power. My 1400GTR on the other hand, insane!!!

Bars, seats, footpegs etc. are easily changed out to units that fit you better. Get the over all package that suits you then fettle to make it fit you. I have the 2013 & 2014 (unplanned purchase of the '14 - got her used) and if push comes to shove the CB could easily be my forever bike. It really ticks all the boxes for me (except for dirt and I'd give up dirt to keep the CB). The CB1100 owners forum has lots of Oz members and older units do come up for sale; you may want to check it out. Good luck!

Great video. Very informative, I have an MT10 with 160hp. The only time I use that power is on the track. Would love one an EX but would probably go for the RS. Again well done on the video.

yes please I do want to see how to buy and import

EX, looks more classic, i kind of dig that!

Absolutely, let’s see it!

Thanks for the video. I would definitely have one of those bikes as my first choice if it were not for disability. We are able to get the range in the UK. My son has just bought a Moto Guzzi V7 which is also a bike I love. Regards, Bob M, South Wales

The CB1100EX/RS is a great bike, smooth and powerful, 90bhp enough to have great fun without lacking character, great details all over the bike. Is a Honda ... what more can you ask for?

True motorcycle enthusiasts know that it’s not how powerful a bike is or how hi tech it is... it’s how that motorbike makes you feel...

Beautiful bikes! I wish Honda makes smaller displacements. I don't need all that extra power to cruise.

Great bike as an alternative to Bonnieville, definitely like to know the importing process. Cheers

Yes I'd be interested in it .....

ITS COOL THERE REMAKING OLD MUSCLE BIKES,I HAD A KZ 1000 ,85 VMAX ETC

Your importation laws are interesting. In Ireland you can import yourself quite easily but the bike needs to be more than six months old and have more than 6,000Km on the clock to avoid hefty taxation. The older the bike the less you pay so old classics are very cheap to import. I just imported a CB1100EX, nearly 3 years old, which they don't sell in Ireland. Fantastic bike, gets lots of attention out on the road.

I luv the rs model

Now.....that's a bike!!!

I think I would avoid the spoked wheels, as they would be a nightmare to clean. Cente stand is a must, which is a win for these bikes. ... I agree about them having enough power.

I'm not in a place to buy nor do I currently need a newer bike, but I hope this 4 cylinder bikes don't die off, I'd love to get a fuel injected modern classic. I've got a 86 Radian with only 11,000 miles on it. I hope they still exist when its time to move on.

Thank you. If your question were my question, too, my answer would be yes, too. Stating on scooters to get to work, I found, as I was told I would contrary to my own beliefs, that after one year I wanted a 400cc license. Got that and a Kawasaki W400 as my first non-scooter bike. Low and behold, after a year I wanted Japan's 'big-two-wheeler' license. Got that and a new 2013 Suzuki DL650 V-Strom. After five years of loving every moment I spent on it, and paying large sums of money to the main dealer to keep it like new, I did a very, very stupid thing. Yes, I traded it in for a new 2017 model Yamaha Tmax 530 DX (sports scooter) as hand-joint and wrist pain meant clutchless or stop riding. Two years later (next month) the bike has sat under a cover in my underground parking almost completely unused. 1085 kilometres on the clock. What an awful thing it is. So... the clutchless, or rather DCT, Honda NC750X as a big compromise as regards the V-Strom (not as solid or well grounded - at least it feels that way to me) or the Honda CB1100 (standard one for me) with a screen for winter our touring, and with a top-box to support my wife's back??? Just a thought, but the CB1100 means going back to a clutch lever and some pain.

Hi bud, Chris here in the UK, love my CB1100RS but it's not a fault free bike as many are not, I am short in the leg department so I am on top toes but the hip to foot rest feels cramped, after riding sports bikes for years an looking to try and slow down but not go the cruiser route I thought the RS might be ideal, but with the flat bars I find I am leaning on them, and the seat is really why we bought it as well but it's turned out to be an instrument of torture, 50-60 miles and the butt ache starts for pillion and rider alike,coupled with rust around the hanger brackets on the exhaust and poor chrome thickness on the no4 header near the bend and I am feeling a bit like it's coming up short,oh and one thing they don't tell you is the top end is capped at 112 mph, so as far as I can see ,all the road Tests are crap,but I do love it, Honda UK not even interested in the corrosion and chrome issue on a bike with 4000 miles that the issues were flagged at 3000 miles.

Unfortunately the OEM LED headlight on the CB 1100 EX and RS is too weak, it is ridiculous. I had to change it for a J.W. Speaker Headlight that is significantly brighter. The installation however was quite a thing, as the electric wiring is not compatible at all.

I would look into a road comet faring for the bike instead of being leaned over all the time. I have one on my 13 and love it. I think I paid around $600 usd for it 5 years ago and it was well worth the money. I purchased it from samurider.com and a man named Takashi. I think it arrived at my door in 4 or 5 days from Japan. This man must have some crazy mojo with customs because a lot of up on the CB1100 forum have experienced the same thing with shipping from him.

I love these bikes but as new they are too expensive for me... Always have my eyes open for a older used one.

Hard to find a 2017 here in the US. Plenty of 2014 models to be found though! Looking to sell my Indian and pick up one of these this Spring.

Glad they have one with spoked wheels. Just seems like a retro bike should have spokes not mags.

Yes, that would be very helpful to know the process of importing a new Honda model into Australia A video on that would be very beneficial

I still like the looks of the old crypto choppers like the Kawasaki LTD series or the early 80's Honda CB900 custom's.

honda forgot to attach a wing logos on both side at the fuel tank

This bike is basically an updated 4 cyl version of a 1980 Honda CBX 6 cyl classic, mines got an 1150 kit.

Yes please do a video on this bike. Riding quality and cost. Is it an all a rounder? What is it good for?

Its badass

These are beautiful, sensible bikes; it's a shame that they are not available in the US. Probably because they would be big competition to small Harleys, like the Sportster. So much for free market. I would be interested in one and for curiosity I'll research if it could be imported by an individual. Import tax would be probably prohibitive plus shipping and sales tax, it could easily cost $5000 more.

Nice looking bike, Personally If I'd spend money on a new bike, I'd expect modern performnce. The new Kawasaki z900 isn't far off (performance) , but I'd much rather see it in the zephyr design.

I was seriously looking at one of these, but the Kawasaki Z900RS has knocked it totally off my radar.

Not to forget the Honda CB400 SuperFour with VTEC.. 💥💯👍

Nice !

I’ve owned a 2014 version of the CB1100 with the stainless 4 into 1 exhaust. The only thing I would like to change is the fuel tank for greater range. I would like to know if the EX tank would fit my 2014 CB1100. Does anyone know?

We have a Honda dealer in my town and a few others in nearby towns but not a single example of this bike was ever presented. I have yet to date see one in my State. The bike> 2019CB 1100RS, or the 2019 CB 1300. I asked about them and the subject is immediately changed. Puzzled.

any chance at some point these will come to the USA?

I live in Japan, have two bikes, and want to know if I can bring them back to Aust so I would be interested in a video helping me figure out if both of my bikes - one of them chopped and changed a fair bit - would get compliance easily in Australia

*The only **-people-** guys demanding more HP are guys who don't moto for anything other than weekend fun.* Anyways, I'm having trouble locating this bike in the US. Honda dealers in nearby metro areas aren't carrying them. Used models are few and 100+ miles apart. This bike embodies the classic Japanese style bike. (Note: classic Japanese is the famous Norton or Moto Guzzi style.)

Go with a used model to save money. Only bad thing is that it's still oil cooled. This may be an issue for some. I have not had any issues with my 2016. Also, get a Dart Marlin windshield.

I own a 2014 (bought brand new, they literally had to open the crate to sell it to me in 2016, currently has 39k km/24k miles). The twin-springers lack charm short order, the 8k valve adjusts take 8 to 10 hours, she vibrates like crazy at 90mph/144kph and the range is terrible even compared to my 2011 Speed Triple (due to the small tank on the CB1100). They also made the rear brake pedal way too high, so I’ve gotten used to angling my foot away from it. That said, I DID throw 24,000 miles on it and I still own it. Its a decent bike, but it definitely has its quirks (what they solved between 2014 and 2019 might resolve a few of these). Pluses do include a smooth ride, decent road weight (my 675 Speed Triple and 750 Gixxer are both too light to trigger traffic signals and I feel every breeze) and I just feel cool on the thing.

Love classic four Honda but can't give up DCT and 67 mpg (US) now, and storage, and lower weight, and decaying street extra suspension, of my NC750X. 56 now so 54 hp and 50 lbs torque good enough.

Did you do that full cost import video of the cb1100 to Australia ?? recently returned from Japan the CB1100RS is a beautiful machine

Singapore selling at S$40,000, converted to USD will be UA30,000! can buy three CB1100!

people who knows that they are not going to trucks, these are the only choices, unless you live in the land of peter pan.

if they would send the cb1300sf to the US id give the CEO a handy jay.

Hi my name is steve i live in perth australia, im wanting to buy a new 2021 cb1100rs, where in japan or who would i contact to look at getting one shipped over, ive been emailing honda australia been a true pain in the arss for them, good!!! doesnt seem to be getting me anywhere, so please tell me ive been emailing uk,taiwan,thailand, trying to find a dealer who will ship one for me, never had this problem before, pissesss me off ,but i dont give up easy, so if you know who i can contact in japan that would be so much of help to me,, sincerely steve from perth, thanks

Hello from Europe/Austria! ... I'm an owner of that wonderful CB1100RS ... actually done 5.000 km with it ... some day-tours up to 400 km - no problems - although it is a naked bike without having a fairing! ... For me it is the BEST LOOKING NAKED BIKE on the market ... it has all good solid quality ... a superb engine with satisfying enough power combined with little fuel-consumption (about 4,5 liter / 100 km ) ... even pricing is ok when compared with other brands on the market ... YES, it is a big bike and it brings JOY and HAPPINESS when I ride it ... it does good on the highway, and I'm driving comfortable when I go up to the Alps! (there are some bike/driving videos on my channel) ... Greetings and best wishes to you!

What do you think of the Triumph Speed Twin

Knock 1/6 off the price and sell the fucking RS in the USA and Honda would actually make fricking money on this model.

like the retro styling. I am about sick of looking at v twins .

Have you ridden the EX with the “raised” bars or are you making assumptions? I am very tall with a long torso and have no issues on the highway at high speeds. The gas tank pretty much acts like a fairing on this thing. This bike really is not made for laying down on the tank anyway. The foot position is not conducive to that at all. I use a fairing to help with wind but it really isn’t necessary at all.

Can't help thinking the same money would buy a Kawasaki Z900RS.. I've always ridden Honda's, but I'm afraid Kawasaki has the edge this time round..

This would be the ONLY new Honda I would buy. Honda's new bike line-up stinks. I own two CB1100's, 2013 and 2017. These will probably be the last two Hondas I buy unless the CB1100RS or CB1300 get brought over here.

At 0:47 the word is “paltry” not poultry, unless you we’re talking about chickens 😂😂😂

RS all day

Wish Honda would bring the EX to the United States.

Now I feel for a fosters and sum shrimps on the barbie

I am the caretaker of 1994 CB 1000R. Vin #30

No longer available in Canada. Seems like the perfect bike to me but they killed themselves with the price.

I’ll keep my vfr1200.

Definitely a cool looking bike but that is a shameful amount of power for that displacement.

Is it available in the US?? Bet not

🌈❤❤❤

does it still have rev-limiter ?

$8,995. + tax-reg at Eastbay motorcycle.

Why is it so heavy?!?

Are they available in NZ?

not a fan of low profile tires bikes like this one should have fat tires.

So this is better than the Kawasaki Z900RS?

Where are the SPOKES????

nice bike but ridicously heavy

It seems like euros doesn't exist for this guy
