Motorcycle specifications HondaCB 1100 EX 2017 His EXcellence Honda

the CB 1100 EX rigorously follows the current trend, with the seriousness and quality you'd expect from a Honda. Claiming descent from the famous CB 750 Four, this roadster proves that good-looking air-cooled engines are still possible. Its ultra-thin-finned 4-cylinder boasts a power output commensurate with its pretensions, its chassis is sure-footed, its finish above reproach and its docility exemplary.
But this Honda has a flaw that prevents it from achieving its success: it's a Honda; in other words, it's a machine that's been thought through (too much), achieved, without the grain of madness that makes those who seek relief before wisdom fall for it.

and because it's a Honda, it doesn't give up. It's even taking advantage of 2017 to make significant changes to a number of small details. Partly to make it Euro4-compliant, and mostly to give it a new look.
One example is the redesigned fuel tank, with more muscular sides and visually seamless lower edges. This may not seem like much, but it enhances the bike's presence and shows real attention to detail. The fuel tank has swapped its vintage cap for a hinged aviation-style element. As a result, its capacity has been reduced from 17.5 to 16.8 liters.

let's stick to the details, shall we? For it is in this area that the CB 1100 EX evolves the most. The 18-inch rims are reduced from 48 to 40 spokes, and house more compact hubs, while retaining the need for inner tubes. The styling has been refined with triangular aluminum side covers, a more rounded rear mudguard, slimmer passenger grips and LED lights. Note the footrest plates, which are now more compact and solid (openwork on theold EX).
The instrumentation is, of course, needle-type. Two good circular dials as we like them. They are now adorned in chrome, with the indicators moved up a few centimetres. The clever eye will have noticed that the windscreen is now made of aluminum rather than plastic. It will be harder to notice that the side stand is longer, except for the kickstand.

time slips by on this Honda CB 1100 EX while the engine blows with ease. It didn't need it, but it had to be touched up. The single intake manifold has been shortened, the air filter redesigned and the exhausts reworked to meet legal requirements. And the Honda doesn't lose out in the process. Its mufflers are not only shorter but also lighter (2.4 kilos). In all, this EX "II" boasts a weight loss of no less than 5 kilos. Not bad, but let's not break out the ballroom shoes just yet. All metal and nostalgia, the CB 1100 EX weighs in at 255 kg. The 89 horsepower of the mill, which has lost none of its power, won't mind.
The overall balance shouldn't suffer. Nor will the driver, who will also appreciate the reduced pressure on the lever thanks to the limited-slip clutch. 16% less effort and better absorption of engine forces during heavy downshifts. The ride will always be one of the bike's silkiest features, enhanced by a new Showa fork and swingarm.

the CB 1100 EX comes in three colors this year, but the French market will only get Pearl Yellow and Candy Red.
As an added bonus for 2017, a more distinctive, sportier and less conservative version has been added to the catalog: the CB 1100 RS.
