Honda’s CB750 remains one of the most important motorcycles ever built, and in 2010 they made a lot of nostalgic riders happy in their home market when they released an retro-inspired evolution model called the CB1100.
The namesake 1,140cc engine produced 86 horsepower and 68 ft-lb of torque at the crank, and the resulting package of classic style with modern convenience made it an instant hint with motorcycle media — Cycle World named it the Best Standard in their Ten Best Awards of 2013, the first year the model was offered in the US. “The new CB’s a bike you just hop on like you used to do, especially when you’ve got no particular place to go. Nostalgic it might be and a feast for some eyes, but it’s also a super-functional, easy-to-ride and cheap-to-keep motorcycle.”
The next year, Honda significantly improved the CB by gifting it a six-speed transmission, LCD instrument display, gear position indicator, and an updated trip computer.
This example is VIN: JH2SC6518EK102380. The seller acquired the bike through an Iconic Motorbikes auction approximately 1.5 years ago.
The odometer shows 10,400 miles.
