The 2017 US EX model is said to have a tank capacity of 4.4 US gallons or 16.65 litres—see http://powersports.honda.com/2017/cb1100...ions.aspx. Yet the Canadian bike is said to be only 14.6 litres—see https://motorcycle.honda.ca/model/naked/cb1100a. The Canadian bike as shown has the new tank. On the Honda Japan website the EX and RS tanks are shown as being 16 litre capacity.
Something's not quite right.
Nortoon, what capacity is your tank?

The information released prior to the 2017 EX be sold stated that the seamless tank would hold 16.8 liters (4.4 US gallons). HondaProKevin also shows this in his specifications.

I believe the Honda Canada information is wrong. Probably someone updating the website did not realize the new lumpy tank is larger than the previous standard models 14.6 liter tank. One only has to look at the pictures of the two tanks to see the standard model tanks are much sleeker and do not have the top ridge.

Except for two short break-in rides, my gas mileage is always 21 kilometers per liter for my day long rides. I spend most of my day around the 100 KPH range. So my run dry range would be 353 kilometers (219 miles). I believe in the write-ups there was mention of Honda wanting to have a 300 km (200 mile) range. I top mine up at around 250 kilometers as I ride some pretty quiet back roads with no gas stations and little traffic.

My CB1100 EX is always loafing along at 2500 tp 3000 RPM when I look down. Every once in a while I give her a boot in the butt by downshifting a notch or two. Amazing what happens at 4000 RPM. I think if the YouTube testers would try the other 2/3rds of the rev range, they would find the CB will give your arms a good tug.

Took my ear plugs out at the local gas station after topping up and riding home a couple of blocks away. The new CB EX mufflers are noisy. Not obnoxious, but certainly not Honda like.

Early info put the new EX's capacity at 4.4... between the stds 3.9 and the Dlxs 4.6

Whether this is true or not one with an EX would have to measure it I suppose.

OK. Sorry. I did not read the whole thread. Just skimming (it is a bit lengthy) lol. So just to confirm, the Japanese 17 tank pretty much looks traditional?

2017 Gas Tank on a 2013?
The Japanese have an extra model–a standard-as well as the EX and RS. The standard has the traditional seemed tank. It is reported to be 14.6 litres so I suspect Peter has actually acquired a 2014 white EX tank from Japan. No matter the extra capacity is great.

YES, that is correct, like 2013-2014 and 2016 models.

I just sent inquiry to Honda Canada about fuel capacity for 2017 CB1100EX .
Let's just wait and see what info will come back from them.

16.8 liters 4.44 US gallons 3.70 Imperial gallons

So now, I am certain that I have 16.8 L gas tank...and I do not care if I am missing 200 mL.. It will be interesting to read Honda answer about tank capacity.
Thank you Nortoon.

RE: 2017 Gas Tank on a 2013?
Peter, your tank is not a 2017 EX or RS tank. They are seamless tanks. The 2017 standard tank, according to Honda Japan is 14.6 liters. So it is likely you have a white tank from a 2014 EX.

Nothing wrong with that. It looks good.

As you read my notes and see pics, I already stated that my tank is NOT seamless as 2017 North American models, and I do not know which model it originally belongs to,....... all I care is white and bigger by about 2.3 L versus stock (14.6 L)...max distance driven with my new tank is still being tested and results will come soon :Smile)
