Here's Why The Honda CB1100 Should Be Your NEXT Bike!
Today I'm taking the 2014 Honda CB1100 out for another ride and going over 5 reasons why this should be your next motorcycle. Truth be told, I just wanted an excuse to take the bike around the block. However, there is a lot to like about this bike. For one, it's original and unique looking. Secondly, it's relatively inexpensive - you get a lot of bike for the money. It's also super comfortable and a ton of fun to ride! Alright, you'll have to check out the video to see my other reasons. Enjoy!

Smoothest motorcycle I have ever ridden since 1969! I loved the 2013 so much, 6 months later, I bought a 2017 CB1100EX with the twin pipes on both sides and awesome gas tank. Now, I own the 2 smoothest bikes I have ever owned in 50 years of riding!
Great review. Love my CB1100. Quicker than expected. Comfy as hell. Lots of compliments. Don’t see one every light. Handles lighter than it should. Absolutely love this bike. All for $6700 out the door. Amazing
What model ?
A new one in this price?
@@apmikalogran 2014 Honda CB1100. All black. Bought leftover model in 2018. Paid $6799 brand new. Initially sold for $10k-$11k range. Awesome bike
@@marcmaz21
Wow cheap
Rey good deal I am trying to get one here in Greece
and the cheapest I can find is 7500 euro
for 2013 model used
The new one costs 14000 euro here
I used to ride the 1981 CB900F when I was alot younger . Bad ass bike! Two years ago at 58 years young I walked into a dealer and bought a 2013 CB1100 with less than 2k miles. Would have liked the 6th gear, but my 900 didn't have it either. I get alot of comments on the sweet bike. No regrets.
I have the 2014 and i had a 82 cb750 nighthawk so believe me when I say don't sweat it about the 6th gear...
I had a74 750 four, wish I still had it, got the 14 Cb 1100, love this bike, it is awesome, hardly ever use 6th gear unless I’m on the interstate which is not much, but yea great bike, definitely a keeper
A naked sportbike for the distinguished gentleman. 👍
👨👩👧 ❤
I’ve had mine for 5 years. I love it.
Love that inline 4 engine sound - sounds like a purring cat. Very refined but got some of that deep rumble when you twist it. Analog tach & speedo . . . priceless
Years ago I had a Honda cb. Very reliable.
Just bought one last week great bike hope it goes forever
Funny thing is only about 2 weeks ago I bought my dad a 1983 cb1100g that has a stage 4 producing 140hp! So damn quick. So awesome seeing the newer version!
I actually bought the 2017 honda cb1100 on February 29th. Haven't got a chance to pick it up yet cuz they keep putting salt down on the roads here in wisconsin.
I never get enough of this bike man. Planning on getting ,mine soon here in France.
being a city dweller, I would have much preferred this kind of bike in a 750cc configuration, just to pay some homage to the 50th birthday of the bike that changed it all (1969 CB750 four)
Cb750 is about the same size. CB400 is smaller but available in Asia
Bought one today love it.
"The bike can do it all." Nailed it. Versatile and manageable but it has a ton of power and outstanding looks. Love mine. Upgraded from a CB500X.
I just got a 2014, the engine is a masterpiece. I traded in a 2014 valkyrie for the 1100.
Dude, I just bought a 2013 CB1100 for 5k with a 1500km on the clock, Thing's brand new. When I first saw the ad, I couldn't believe it, turns out guy who sold it to me, had it in his garage along with other 13 bikes for 8 YEARS ! What a steal.
Worked for me. Found one in LA with only 147 miles on it.
Great bike.
Oh BAM!! Your wheelie game is fire!! I love the whole no windshield. Feel the breeze.
CB1100 is great bike after 2014 it has 6th gear 2013 only 5.You do want the 6th why ton of 2013 models are on criaglists under 5k. I have CB750 old one and love riding it.Silky smooth and indestructible starts every time.No water No extra pipes just change oil tires chain sprockets and you are good to go.
I own the 2013 and have zero problem not having a 6th gear. The huge engine is so understressed its hard to feel vibes and when you do youre at the speed limiter.
Thanks for sharing this video. I love the bike and if it wasn’t for disability I would probably have one now. I really like the looks, many years ago I had a Honda CB650Z, but the last bike I had was a Suzuki Bandit 1200. Regards, Bob M. South Wales
I have a bandit 1200 right now! Been putting a lot of work into the ole girl lately
I have a 2014 cb1100 and I love it!!
Dude You're so right minus the stunting I dunno how to do that with my 72, it came stock with the now discontinued sideshots. LOUD AS F. I just sourced some VN longshots. I used to just rock head phones but with this bike foam ear plugs have become my best friend.
Just purchased a Dealer NEW 2014 in Oct 2020 for 1/2 of sticker and full Honda Warranty. This is the bike to have.
Just bought a 2014 CB 1100. I have to pick it up. Also 1994 Virago 1100, 490 miles original, 2018 KLR 650 and 2020 DR 650 both brand new
Regarding the weight and feel of the CB1100. You can definitely feel the CB's weight when rolling it around in the garage. But part of what makes the CB1100 feel relatively nimble once you get rolling are the rather skinny tires mounted on those 18" rims. All part of the original design brief for this motorcycle.
Great video man! I want to export the CB1300 since it’s not available in the US, but the CB1100 is a great looker
I literally just got my first Harley about the same time Jackie got hers, and I also got a 2017 iron 883.
Hell yeah, spread the cb1100 gospel!
Hahaha!
Jon I just bought the 2014 CB1100, have had it for not quite two months yet. Really enjoying it, just changing a few things. I owned a 2013 Yamaha FJR prior (for about 18 months) just a different bike all around. Very easy to ride.
Nice man! We are you going to change on it?
@@alphasalazar2490 so far bar risers, engine guards and a larger windscreen for cooler weather riding. I also added a diy gel pad and flattened the slope of the seat that was pushing me onto the tank. Oh and have changed the mirrors a few times now.
2014 model has got six speeds?
@@apmikalogran yes mine did.
Damn classy ol'lady. Great review btw.
Wow great vid. Was not expecting wheelies and other shenanigans on a CB1100 review.
Thanks, brotha!
Ever since you did your first vid on it I have liked it! I would change the exhaust just because I like a performance sound. It is very nostalgic looking and that's what's so cool about it! I can also see it going 115+ on a straight away.
I’m 63 and just get rid of my 2014 Harley Davidson St. glide. I wasn’t riding her much because I’m getting older and she’s getting a little much to handle. I used to have a 1970s 750 CB Honda. I’m looking at to pick it up this 1100. It’s a 2013. Can’t wait to check her out and take her for a ride. Thanks for your video brother. What’s your take?
I had an original Honda CB750 F Super Sport through the 90's and early 2000's. What an amazing bike! Shocked A lot of guys with it's all around quickness off the line and it's ability to go very fast - very fast. People would ask how fast it was and I would say "faster than I'm willing to go on it" lol
Jon, I understand to a degree why some people complain about what you do for fun, as abuse to this incredible cb1100, but if I would have purchased this bike at your age, I would be wanting to know if I could out-wheelie you... I say, if you can do it... Do it... I love how you have so much fun on it, you basically ride it like a dirt track bike, which 550 lbs, is pretty incredible. When you say this bike has it all... You nail it with that comment... I think it could beat the Vulcan 650 that you purchased along with the cb1100... Your thoughts on that, if, and when you have the time... By the way, Beautiful Family, and may God Bless your family with great happiness, and health...
I’ve always liked the cb 1100! Def an option for bike #2 but as an addition. Can’t give up my Warrior bro!
I’ve actually wanted one since they were first released in the states just never came across one! My daily is an 80 CB900C with the split high/low gear box, so I definitely feel it’s time to get the grandchild of LouAnn! (Yeah, I named her! 25 but I kid at heart!)
Hey Jon, I currently ride a dual sport - a CRF450L. I thinking about a street bike for when i want a smoother ride. I’m really considering buying one of these for all of those reasons you mentioned. But mostly because I think its look is subdued enough it won’t make a guy in his 40s (like myself) look like he’s going through a midlife crisis.
Hahaha! All great reasons! I'm sure you enjoy the cb1100! Check out some of the fb groups as well for more insight. They've got a pretty welcoming global community.
You always have great content, cool bike.
The Indian Motorcycle dealer in lebanon New Jersey has a used 2016, he want 9G+ for the bike, I’ve been drooling over this bike for years when it first came out. I ride vstar 1300 but sold it. So I was looking at the cb1100, but no dealer had new ones. The dealer in Lebanon told me it needed a pipe within even specifying which pipe. I said to myself I’m not paying 9000+ dollars for that, then I had my eye on the scout, but it’s tiny. Sooo I just picked up a new triumph 2020 T120. 12G out the door.
Wish me luck with the gearbox.
My current motorcycle is a Royal Enfield INT650. I'm 100% sure that this can one-up it in every way, except weight of course!
Great vid. I looked at the Honda but went with my Indian Chief dark horse. But very nice bike and is more comfortable than a sport bike.
I sold off all my bikes except the cb1100. It is supremely diggable. Nice video. You very obviously know what you are talking about.
Looking for one of these in red. Downsizing from my Valk 1800.
Cool bike I always likes 4 into 1 exhaust sound. Thx Jon
I own a Guzzi v7 II and love it but it still is Italian reliable and misses about 20hp in my opinion.Would love to get my hands on a CB1100 for a test ride but they are so hard to find... commuting daily with a bike (the v7) that rides different every day,really weird I think its alive 😅 is not ideal...
I have NO bike today, but I will buy the CB1100 this year! Hopefully the 2020 model. Please let me know if buying the brand new bike is a good strategy for my first bike.
I hear mixed reviews on buying new for first bikes. Personally, I would save myself the money and find a good preowned bike. But you gotta do what works for you.
Stunning bike
Nice review. I am taking my State's 4 day motorcycling learning and licensing course. I have admired the Kawasaki z900rs and cb1100 which is a fraction of the price used. I communicated with a guy who commuted on a cb1100 for years, sold it and ended up buying same in a 2014 model in deluxe version. I did see your wife's video on the bike and I was impressed and encouraged. I'll pick the largest bike at the course and determine whether a 550 lb bike like this is for me ? Thanks.
I have a 2014 CB1100 with 26k miles on it. Bought it in 2017 brand new out of crate (zero miles). They had to dig it out of storage and assemble it.
It’s smooth (unless you throw an x-ring chain on there... rides a bit choppy now), the service intervals kinda suck, and my Triumph is only a 675 and it produces SO much more power.
That said, this is the bike I’m keeping. The Speed Triple will become a new Speed Triple. My Gixxer is probably going to turn into a GS1200 at some point as I commute 60 miles a day.
OMG!!! 550 lbs. Had a 1981 CB750. That was a heavy bike. Wimps.
Outstanding review....I have one. I love it, all the controls fall into place, the power is just enough, the handling is great, and it looks the business. Fun fact: Honda opened a new factory just to build this motor.....AND the fins were designed so that they would have that retro 'pinging' as the engine cooled.
I get a ton of compliments from old school riders...that just want to talk bikes. On a side note....you also have me looking for a an XSR900 as a third...
I love it! Looking to buy one now.
1979 Honda cm 400 a Hondamatic 5500 original miles original survivor in excellent condition!! Thanks 🙏 Mike
I do like that bike. It has that old school style. I have a 2018 CB650F and it has that sport bike performance in a comfortable great handling package. Like the CB1100 it's a do it all kinda road bike. Lots of fun, but it hasn't got that old school style.
The cb650f is one of my favorite sounding motorcycles. I always know when there’s a 650 around
I used to have one same exact one
I'm looking at getting one of these due to seeing it on your video! Sat on a used '17 yesterday. The tank is wider than I thought it was going to be which makes a fat boy like myself not look silly riding it. Have a demo ride scheduled for this weekend on a z900rs. However, sitting on it, it doesn't seem as comfortable.
Back in 1980 I HD a 80 Yamaha XS Eleven and it was fast ! It was. Supposed to have been the fastest production bike ( top speed) of the time a reported 153. Mph. It was a blast..weighed about 550 as well. Might just revisit my misspent youth. Lol we shall see.
I have admired this bike since it came out. I thought about getting one but I have a 2002 Suzuki Bandit 1200 (naked) that checks all the same boxes as the CB1100 except the classic styling. If the CB1100 had been available when I bought the Bandit I most likely would own one now and not the Bandit.
I own a 2013 cb1100 great bike, embodies the standard CB's of the 70's and 80's. with modern performance, I don't understand why this bike is over looked.
Hi bro nice stuff as always 👍🇦🇺😎
I want it, I am currently restoring a 1983 cb1100f
I'd love one to park next to the other one ...but no luck in Australia
So is it better than my bike? I own a "Pedal" and am due to get my full A license in Aug. Question is, is is too much to start on? These caught my eye, less km and less $$ than a Triumph, similar style and does have street cred just like Trump.
another great vid... i have the18 fat bob which i really love.. working on wheelies to the balance point, right now just small power wheelies... i traded a z 900 (worst bike ive had) in for the fat bob and love the fat bob but i know if i got one of these first i would be done... i like a bike that can do it all (sporty, wheelies, ride double, comfort) and really like the 4 cyl smoothness of the Japanese bikes. that said HD v twins are an amazing and fun motors, best v twins in my opinion for feel!!. the wind buffetting on the fat bob is the only reason i would trade for one of these...
can never have to many wheelies :-) thats what stop signs r for!!!
I love it. I wouldnt mind finding one and parking next to the others
This would be my best bike if I could every get one!
The best part of this video is simply the erratic number of reasons.
Is it a good bike to learn on as a beginner?
What’s your thoughts on the rear tire size?. Does the bike feel stable at higher speeds?
I ride a 86 450 nighthawk. New rider - only for 1 year. Would this be a good upgrade for me?
Get the CB1100. Especially the 2014 year. You will absolutely love it. Easy to ride, weight disappears when moving, and power is strong, but not stupid. It’s a bike you’ll be really happy you got. And I also liked the Nighthawk. Fun bike.
Yes, either the 2013/14 or the twin pipe, 2017 CB1100EX. All 3 are great, and I own a 2018 Kawasaki Z900RS. I prefer the Hondas over the Kawi on the sheer rideability of the Honda. Besides, I think the Z900RS may be too fast for a novice rider. I installed Akrapovic headers and exhaust on it, ride it only when I an going to a fire!
Easiest bike to ride ever!!!! Should be more popular than it is
Thanks I agree it’s a great bike
Check our rhe White House kit out of Japan for this. Makes it look like a 70s CB750
Your garage is like ours bikes inside vehicles out we have a 76 gl1000 ride it slot too honda makes good bikes
"The only reason I ride motorcycles is to impress the masses." Really? That's actually very sad man.
Is this a good beginner bike?
If I had the money, I’d buy two. Bore and stroke one, and daily the other. Sure she’d make a great a race bike, just like everything else from Honda
Not gonna daily the cbr1000, that’s a track only bike. This here though, is the standard
The CB1100 is stilll a contender in the Motorcycle World in my opinion...and they can be had for a Song these days! I certainly enjoy it as a 2nd Ride!
Jon, just wondering... You had a negative response to the Kawasaki Vulcan having chain drive, but, doesn't the Honda 1100 have chain drive too?
Or maybe I'm mistaken. Could you help me understand the difference in the cruiser Vulcan having chain drive vs. the 1100?
Not wanting to criticize you but more needing to educate myself on the difference between 2 chain drive bikes/types.Thanks Jon!
Keep up your great vids
How would this do for a guy who's 6'6"? Throw some taller bars on it and good to go, or....?
You need a cruiser lol
It’s a great bike but it’s down on styling and the mirrors are hideous , yep keep the oil changed and ride as long as you want very dependable
I wasn't to hip on the mirrors ether but now that i have 5k + miles with them I'm going to keep them. They work well.
For Sale: One careful owner 😬
I am a big fan of the ex version with the chrome spoked wheels and dual exhaust. However, like a lot of bikes out there the cb1100 is a tad to tall for me. I am 5'5"; Anything with a seat height over 30 inches I am likely no longer flat footed. I am sure I could do it but at some point a mistake will be made and it will inevitably get dropped.
th-cam.com/video/zYp1zXyc0fA/w-d-xo.html. I would watch this video. You can definitely ride taller bikes being short. I'm 5'4" and ride a bike that has 30+ inch seat height.
It's all preference but definitely not a huge issue unless you have very little mobility to begin with.
is this bike for me? after selling a 2006 speed triple.
Niiiice. Oh ya, nice frontside air
If I were to get one of these, I’d have to get rid of all that chrome and the rear fender...
I’ve only been riding for about 3 months. I currently own a 78 Honda CX500. I love the bike but am already planning my next bike for next spring. Is this a good second bike for someone with only a summer’s experience of riding?
would you put a top case on that bike? I own a 2013 650 Versys , with full touring kit. I'm worried about the fact that the CB will look like crap with the luggage.
I've seen em with side cases (adventure style) and it actually looked pretty good. Hard to imagine the top case though.
I think those bikes are cool looking they don’t look fast but there probably sleepers time will tell
What crash bars do you have
You're hilarious man..luv that bike... Sell it to me..
Is this 2013 model?
It's too bad the Japanese 4 got away from this style of bike. I prefer sportbikes over cruisers but these really could just do everything.
How does your wife like the CB1100? is it a tad tall for her?
She actually took it for a spin and did a first impression video. She enjoyed it quite a bit. Said it was the smoothest bike she's ridden.
@@JonsMotoGarage SWEET! I will have to give it a watch. I think if the CB1100 had more videos like this right out of the gate, could have possibly been a little more popularity with the bike. Overall still a great machine in my book!
I have an XSR 700
How are they with passenger comfort?
that gauge cluster looks like the mickey mouse logo
Can't remember what my previous bike was. Did I have one?
