Ducati Monster Forum

I like this modern, but 70's retro UJM concept bike.  It looks like there is still a chance it might make into production.  It looks good with the titanium exhaust.  What do you think of this bike?  Does it have any chance of making it into production?

yup.

Retro-y.  Looks good, the CF can doesn't quite fit the look - but beyond that it's solid.  Not a OMG that's so cool! Bike, but a solid looker, I wouldn't turn one down

Isn't the motor supposed to be able to produce as much power as a water cooled mill?.. I really want the hair faired endurance model to make it into production.

I really like that but I am a permanent member of the old school retro club. They come up with these cool show bikes but few ever seem to make it to production and the ones that do are like the butt ugly B King Suzook. [puke] I like my ZRX1200R which nicely mimics my '83 KZ1000R Lawson Replica in a more modern kind of way. [thumbsup]

Boy I think that would look sweet with a tail chop and some clubman bars and bar end mirrors.

nice! hope it makes it

Very nice.  I've always been a fan of the Honda CB bikes of the 70s and this retro interpretation is very nicely done.

I would definatly buy one.  [moto]

BUILD IT HONDA!!!!

I like it for the same reason as the Monster. It is simply a motorcycle. That said I don't know that it would ever get my dollars.

I agree.  It is a "solid looker".  That is what I like about it.  It just looks like a motorcycle.  Nothing fancy.  The tank is a little odd/different, but it isn't bad.  I could get used to the tank. 

The first picture (blue & silver) bike has a two tone paint job that emphasizes the shape of the tank.  In the second picture (red bike).  It looks like it has an airbrushed, fade to black paint job that minimizes the shape of the tank.  They may have chosen these two paint jobs to gauge people's reaction to the shape of the tank.

Yes, exactly right.  It looks like it would be easy to unbolt that rear fender.

The latest issue of Motorcyclist magazine is reporting that the CB1100F is already listed as a 2010 model. 

Hey Honda, how 'bout a new CB400F to go with it?

NICE [thumbsup]

Here's the chopped version

Love the look of this bike - simple and functional.

Anyone know who makes those titanium exhausts? <drool>

No can see.

I would think that Honda made them (or had them made) as a one-off project just for this show bike.  The CB1100F hasn't hit the stores yet. 

A lot of people said they would buy the 1250 Bandit.   A lot of people said they would buy the CB1000A back in the 90's.   A lot of people say they will buy a lot of stuff, but there is always an excuse why they don't.   Personally, I think it is a good looking standard style bike.   Would I buy one?   Used, yes probably.  I don't buy new bikes, I can't stand the thought of dropping 1/3 the price going out the door of the dealership.

Sorry, but you need to face the reality that you personally are the reason that the rest of us will never be able to buy this bike. Thanks...  [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

Still can't see it.  Oh well.

I chopped it and lowered the bars to simulate the clubmans

Same here, I get the red x...

Kinda reminds me of the old Vmax

except for the engine not being a V of course

This is exactly what I want for riding around town ...

Adam

I can dig it. [thumbsup]

(Now, would I actually buy one? I dunno, maybe used...)

Good looking bike.  I'd be very tempted to get one (price is obviously a major consideration).

Damn shame if they are custom cans - I'd buy them right now if I could find them  :'(

There is probably a lot of truth in that statement, but I would rather buy 3 used bikes, than buy one new bike and pay for it for 5 years.   There are a ton of used bikes out there with less than 5000 miles on them, and I'm the guy to buy them.  

Besides, I belong to a couple of other forums, and I hear this shit all the time "If brand X brings that bike over from Europe, I'll be first in line to buy it.   I heard it about the 1250 Bandit, the ZRX Kawasaki, the MV Agustas, the Guzzis, etc., etc.    The truth is, it's all talk, most of them never buy shit.   The last new bike I bought was an '06 YZ450F, because you just don't know what you get when you buy a used dirt bike.   Street bikes it's easier to tell how hard they've been beat.  I'll continue to buy a used street bike every year or year and a half, and let someone else take that 30% hit from new.  

2010 Honda CB1100: the UJM returns: http://hellforleathermagazine.com/2009/09/2010-honda-cb1100-the-ujm-retu.html (http://hellforleathermagazine.com/2009/09/2010-honda-cb1100-the-ujm-retu.html)
"No official details on the 2010 Honda CB1100 other than that's it's confirmed as a production model. Nearly identical to the CB1100 concept bike from 2007, it represents a return to an era when well-engineered, high-spec bikes like the CB750 were designed to do everything rather than a single specific task. It should also make an excellent basis for customization, as proven by the Honda CB1100 Customize concept pictured above in red. It's been reported that the CB1100 will make it stateside, but there's no new information regarding that."

Looks like the concept model with a few minor changes. The pipes aren't quite a pretty. The rear shocks have lost their reservoirs. The gauges & headlight mounts are bulkier. It looks good, but not as nice as the concept bike.

I dig it  [thumbsup] [moto]

I've "Chopped up" a few CB's.

One more couldn't hurt.  [evil]

I would definitely consider getting one of those.  I've always been a fan of that style of bike.  It would look good with upgraded suspension, brakes and rims too.  It would give the bike a slightly more modern feel.

its BEEN in production in Japan just not in the US

No it has not been in production in Japan.  This is a new to the world bike.  There has been a bike called CB1100F, but this is not the same motorcycle.

I'm stoked that they're bringing out the CB1100F.  That improves the odds that they're going to offer the CB1100R.  [evil]

Want.  Love.  Crave.

Anyone notice the CB1000R on the cover of Cycleworld last issue?
They said it was only sold in Europe that was so much different than this 1100 being discussed. Water cooler digital insturment package s 4 into 1 pipe that was angled flat along the outside. Looked like a naked 1000RR not a bad idea.
The naked bikes are slowly catching on here.

want

Both the F and R are really cool.  The photoshopped versions look great as well.   [moto]

I really like this. A lot. I can hear the 4-into-1 bellow now....  [evil]

I'd buy that.  [thumbsup]

The stock pipe won't look that nice once they jam in the cat and the baffles, but of course that is an easy fix  [evil]

The more I look at this production bound version of the CB1100F the less I like it.  They have changed a lot of details since showing the concept version.  The frame is completely different. Notice how the concept model's down tube has a nice angle away from the front wheel. This also allows the engine to angled to the front more. It gives the bike a sporty appearance. Also notice how the exhaust tubes cover up the bottom frame tubes. I like this better than the latest rendition in which the exhaust hangs down underneath the lower frame tubes and makes the bike look bulkier.

The latests rendition has a more upright down tube and engine. It makes the bike look less sporty and more bulky.

The details are important. This is something the a lot of companies never seem to get.  One bike is sexy the other looks a little bit dull and chunky.

Honda [roll]

YES!!!!

I've liked this bike since I first saw it.  I really hope they bring it stateside. 

This animated .gif highlights the differences between the prototype (red) and the production model (white).

I want the red one...

Hey Travman, How did you do that effect?  Or did you find it on the web?

Leave it up to the concept guys to get us all excited,right?

I found it on another site.  I'm sure it is easy to do, but I don't know how to make an animated .gif file.

Too bad about deviations (especially the exhaust and tank) - from sporty standard to new nighthawk.  At least I don't have to make room next to the 400F and Monster for this.
