Tpoppa Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) I really like the looks of this one. And it has 17 inch wheels so you can use decent rubber. https://rideapart.com/articles/2017-honda-cb1100-rs-closer-look Edited October 18, 2016 by Tpoppa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tier10 Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 I personally don't like the way the tail section looks. Almost looks like it's missing something. The rest of it looks killer. I want to see one in person now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTheAzn Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 That looks pretty neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whaler Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) I dig the true retro melded with modern technology, but I am in my 40's and loved many of the UJM's from that era. Edited October 19, 2016 by whaler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer_kaw Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 I like that a lot. I'd have to slap on some bar end mirrors and tidy that tail up a bit though. The best part of this style of bike is you can really make it your own with a few mods. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like that style of bike. With a few changes you can make any sort of ride you want; kneedragger, touring, drag bike...not sure about flattrack or hillclimber. And it has enough displacement to keep you happy...'til the warranty's gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpoppa Posted October 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Stock, it should be able to carve corners at 8/10ths pace. The riding position looks neutral enough for distance riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Can't decide if it has sufficient lean angle or not, looks like maybe not enough in the pic in the article. Probably ok, but something to check out and be sure of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that, this Honda would feel like a MotoGP bike 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer_kaw Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 The weight,suspension and frame geometry is pretty close to my zrx on paper and stock it handled pretty darn good. I'm sure there will be forums out there dedicated to these bikes and there will be plenty of ideas to improve handling if needed. Little things on the Rex like flipping the eccentrics to raise the tail and shorten wheelbase as well as lower bars to weight the forks a bit make huge differences. Did have to raise my pegs a bit after feeling my boots touch down a bit. those old school double cradle frames can be a bit wide and cause a little clearance issues. That sure is a good looking bike.

Wojo72 Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Depends on the $$. I like the aesthetics but the Yamaha XSR might be better bang for the buck. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustinNck1 Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 I liked the looks of the regular CB1100, but this one just took it to another level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kritz Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Love the looks. Wish it had more than 89HP at the crank though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
