Honda CB1100X?

[cabanza]

Rumors or facts?

Several websites are reporting Honda will produce a CB1100X based on the engine from the Africa Twin. It would make sense Honda would use the engine in different chassis. If Honda does indeed make this tasty CB1100X, sign me up!

New images show how the future Honda CB1100X could look!

The theory behind the Honda CB1100X is that it’s an upright sporty touring bike, with the CRF1100L engine at its heart

Seems Honda is wanting to get some use out of that 1100 twin motor.

That doesn't appeal to me. Maybe too angular, not sure.

It’s a photoshop and not a final product but a patent was filled by Honda.

 

[woodsguy]

All your new bikes have been keepers, lol.

 

[copb8]

I like it a lot but I'm not sure I'm in love with the AF twin in the first place.

 

[woodsguy]

Would that be a sporty enough motor for this bike?

Kinda what I was wondering as well.

 

[MidlifeCrisis]

Just the world needs... another big tall adv tourer.

Should be. It's a CB, not a CBR.
IMO, more retro styling would have been a better way to go if you're gonna pull up the CB moniker.

 

[woodsguy]

Agreed on styling.

 

[blupupher]

Would that be a sporty enough motor for this bike?

With tweaks, it could be. The Rebel 1100 has a different powerband than the Africa Twin, so I am sure there is more that could be done to make it quicker.

This would be a big brother to a CB500F, not a retro CB bike (like the CB1100), hence the "X" moniker.

Competitor to Kawasaki's Versys 1000?

 

[Jarrett]

They'd need to bump up the hp a bit to match that.

Another bike that looks good until I remember that my wife likes to ride on the back. But as long as I keep the old RT around, I could entertain a 2nd, sportier bike.

 

[Windmill]

To me it would compete more with Suzuki DL1050. Actually reminds me of one minus the beak.
I do like how you can see most of power plant.

 

[Annhl8rX]

I kind of like the design. Being a Honda, though, it’ll be overweight, underpowered, and overpriced.

Someone at Honda misread the memo. You are suppose to take the CB500X and make it more like the AT, not the other way around!
