2013 CB1100 |
The new CB1100 from Honda is a retro bike that seeks to recapture the joys of Honda's original super star, the 1969 CB750. With its naked air cooled four cylinder engine, dual rear shocks, and comfortable seating geometry it is sure to appeal to many that have those nostalgic memories of riding the original.
The fuel injection will mean easier starts than the older CB750. Memories of kick starting a '69 CB750 on cold mornings is often forgotten by many and is thankfully not experienced by many younger riders on today's bikes.
