Ran across this today over on CYCLE WORLD forum: http://powersports.honda.com/2011/cb1000r.aspxLooks like we finally get to purchase one this spring if so inclined. |

They worked hard at making it ugly. I do like that they're bringing a standard bike back in the line up.

The exhaust, headlight and Z shape over the radiator absolutely ruins it.

The more I look at that exhaust, the more I want to smack someone and holler "WTF WERE YOU THINKING!?!"

Soup, you nailed it on the head I feel. The running shoe look does nothing for me.  How about that hideous piece of plastic covering the gas tank?  |

The exhaust is butt ugly. I can live with the radiator and I'm on the fence with the headlight. It looks like a transformer with that set up.
Put a nice Vance & Hines exhaust on it and I could live with it.
I don't think I would replace my Bandit with one though.

I didn't have much time when I posted that, had to get to a dental appointment. I got a couple of fillings and have to go back for root canal.  It's probably a really good bike and a blast to ride. I don't like the headlight and the round thing below it, LED positioner I think they called it, didn't say what it did, maybe lights up as you lean? The CB1100F is more my style, but I might buy a used CB1000R somewhere down the line, although I already have a Bandit 1200n and I'm not getting any younger. I mostly been looking at bikes like the ST1300, FJR, maybe the old Voyager XII, '03 and back. Kawasaki has the new Z1000 & Z750R, Yamaha has the FZ1 and soon the FZ800 at least Honda has something to compete against those now. |

How about we ditch just about every piece of plastic, and the gas tank, and start from scratch. Wheels gotta go as well.  Why couldn't it look like the CB1300? I guess they must be worried about cannibalizing the sales of good looking bikes... |

Wonder if a CB1300 motor would bolt right up to the Literhawk...Frames look mighty similar.  |

I like the 1300 but I still would rather have the styling of the CB1100  Honda! This is what we want...... Just simple, real, fast, comfy, and classy. |

It may have some visual quirks, but man I would love run that thing through some tight twisties.  The side view of the headlight faring looks like some sort of animal head. |

Both the CB1100 and the CB1300 look great to me. The biggest difference to me is the engine and the tail. The 1300 has a turned up rear end with a fender extension, and the 1100 has the turned down fender that goes smoothly into the seat. What I want is a fender that doesn't go up or down, just stays roughly level, with a small lower extension. Kind of like the 700S Nighthawk and the old CB900F.
The 1300's engine is ugly. Naked bikes should have a good looking engine, otherwise what's the point? I wish it simply looked air-cooled.

Maybe it's my new found Bandit love showing in my appreciation of the 1300 over the 1100.
