Not a new bike fan - but saw one of these in the flesh out side Bridge yesterday and it looked lovely
New Honda CB1100
'4 wheels move the body - 2 wheels move the soul'
Took the Queens Shilling and disappeared for 23 Years !!
Says the man with a hardtail harley
Did the engine look unusual as the cooling design is new for emissions ?
Tis the first air cooled in line four for some time I believe.
CO2 more slippery than prison soap!

i aint got nothing so it dont count.
In my humble opinion I would say the XJR 1300 engine looks far better in the retro league the Honda looks almost like the cb900f which didn't realy live up being that good I remember
Well all I know was I was driving along, saw it and turned round to park up get out and have a look - not many modern bikes make me do that
I like what BMW have done on the new 1200 GS, still air cooled but also water cooled.
This would allow for smaller more discrete radiators while still providing adequate cooling and not over heating the oil.
