Overview

Introducing the 2017 Honda CB1100 EX, a motorcycle that elegantly marries classic aesthetics with modern performance. Positioned firmly in the classic category, the CB1100 EX is a homage to Honda's rich heritage of motorcycle manufacturing while seamlessly integrating contemporary engineering. With its robust design and retro-inspired flair, this model appeals to riders who seek both nostalgia and cutting-edge technology. The CB1100 EX stands out in a crowded market, offering an experience that is as much about the journey as it is about the destination. At the heart of the CB1100 EX is its impressive in-line four, four-stroke engine, boasting a displacement of 1140cc. Delivering a spirited 88.51 horsepower at 7500 RPM and a robust torque of 91 Nm at 5000 RPM, this bike provides exhilarating performance on both city streets and winding backroads. The 6-speed gearbox, combined with a multi-plate wet clutch, ensures smooth shifting and an engaging riding experience. Riders will appreciate the bike's fuel efficiency of 6.00 litres per 100 km, allowing for longer rides without frequent stops at the pump. The bike's oil and air cooling system keeps the engine at optimal temperatures, ensuring reliability during long journeys. The CB1100 EX doesn't just shine in performance; it also comes equipped with a host of features designed with the rider in mind. The double steel cradle frame provides a solid foundation for stability, while the 41mm conventional front fork and twin shocks at the rear, both with adjustable spring preload, ensure a comfortable ride over various terrains. Safety is paramount with ABS-equipped brakes—double discs at the front and a single disc at the rear—providing confident stopping power. Additionally, the bike’s aesthetic options, including eye-catching black, white, and red color schemes, allow riders to express their personality on the road. **
