Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Z900 RS SE 2023

Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

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.
