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