Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CB1100 RS 2017

Opinions are divided on the RS. For many, it doesn't seem as earthy and honest as the EX, and overall it doesn't seem coherent. But at the end of the day, you don't find any plastic where there should have been metal. The 17-inch rims offer a wider choice of tyres. The standard tyres might not be the best choice for this bike.

Lovely and high-quality workmanship

great engine tuning

wide choice of tyres

Lean angle clearance

Unharmonious turn-in behaviour with standard tyres

Top performance

Honda CB 1100 2013

All in all, the CB 1100 is certainly not a motorbike for consumer fetishists. Once purchased, it will serve you faithfully for the next 20 to 30 years. It will not look much older than it does today. It will probably not bring in less money than it would have after 3-4 years if it had been sold.

Optimal chassis

relaxed cornering transitions

fun, stress-free ride

discreetly integrated ABS.

Very heavy weight

somewhat little power.
