Who would have thought that nearly 45 years after its introduction, that the styling and basic layout of the Honda CB750K0 would still stir the souls of so many riders?
The 2013 Honda CB1100 takes its cues from the original 750, and does some smart updating. The 1140cc motor is still air-cooled, though it now has EFI and a 16-valve DOHC valve train.
The twin-shock suspension and 18-inch wheels are a reminder of the past, but their performance is definitely 21st century.
Plenty of torque and fully competent handling make the Honda CB1100 a powerful in-town bike and a fun mount when the road gets twisty.
