At the end of 2013 I fell for a Honda CB 1100. Much more powerful than I needed, a little bit heavy, but it reminded me so much of my CB400F from the 70s…

And the models that were announced for 2014 seemed less interesting to me (useless 6th gear, all-black standard version, luxury version with spoked wheel and 4 into 2 exhausts, mmm…).

I never regretted this purchase!

 

Below are some documents and information collected on the internet since 2013.

A part of this web material is still alive, but maybe one day some links will die - So I have saved most of it

(particularly the image files) on my hard drive, contact me if necessary.

 

 

Documentation on the model imported into Europe in 2013:

 

French press information file, dated 2012, October 3rd

 

French sales brochure, 2013 models

 

A few promotional photos (2013 European models):

 

 

 

Documentation on models imported to the United States in 2013:

A “Press kit” document still accessible in 2024 on the Honda-news site -USA

(This Honda-News page contains information on models imported to the US from 2013 to 2017)

 

Other promotional materials about the CB1100, recovered from the Honda-Worldwide site :

 

"Honda Designers Talk"

2 web pages which are no longer accessible now, but I had saved copies in pdf

Part 1              Part 2

 

“Beyond the Plans: Building Emotions into the Bike”

Complementary to the previous one, and introducing the 2014 models; 5 html pages (plus an introduction-summary page)

Below links to my 5 backup files in pdf:

Part 1              Part 2              Part 3              Part 4              Part 5

 

Other information about CB1100 genesis: some prototypes appearance, in 1999 then in 2007:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Eventually, we had to wait 2 years before the first production CB1100 arrive in dealer shops (in Japan and Australia), 2 more years in western countries,

and the CB1100R remains an exhibition prototype…

 

 

 

 

 

 

Still available on the Honda Japan website, a summary of the “press information” released from 2010 to 2021.

It's in Japanese, but with Google Chrome's translation, we can access a nice history of the different versions and colors that have been offered (in Japan)...

And the images don't need to be translated!

CB1100 history sum-up by “The Ferret” on CB1100 forum

(http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=4403)

It's a pity we lost all the images included in the posts The Ferret wrote about history of the CB1100...
I spent some time to recover these images ! I made a copy of the posts, added the images (with links to the sources), then print the result in 2 pdf files, you can download :
2014 post
2016 & 2017 posts
