As a former owner of a Nighthawk 750, I really do like and appreciate the CB1100. It's a beautiful bike. I may have to be on the lookout for one!

If you find a nest of NOS crated CB1100s in some basement warehouse selling for $7495, let us know.

I remember seeing them sell for that price and was tempted, but they were the black non DLX model. Still a fantastic deal!
That CB1100 is such a beautiful bike. Honda sure got it right. I've never ridden one, but I sat on one at the dealership when they first came out. I have a 2001 ST1100 and a 2002 CBR1100XX and need one of these to round out the 1100's. Some day.

The CB that Honda and the rest of the world forgot about...... 1979 CB650. My first motorcycle bought as a left over in Feb 1982. And then another one bought used in March of 2007 which was traded to buy my 2010 NT700. My second one is now on display at the Moto Museum in ST. Francis, Kansas.

I know what you mean. When I have dreams of riding my 'cycles, it is the '83 VF750Sabre that I'm winding out the rpms on. Last time was a long time ago.

My second motorcycle I bought in 1985 was a 82 VF750 Sabre dress out in Red.

October 21, 1969. Okay for 10 years and 30,000 miles.
Better, getting there. 14, 000 miles on that one.
Almost perfect. 28,000 miles combined on these two. If I could have just swapped that wonderful 750 V-4 into the GL-650......Hello, Alan Millyard?
Finally, one for the ages. Perfection on two wheels. 30,000 miles and that many great times.
Now, I am aged. 76, and done riding, It's been great though. July 3rd, 1964 (C-110, CA77, CB750....) until August 2023. 59 years.
