as in 2015 the world was left wondering if there were going to be any new releases of CB1100's for 2016
at the Osaka and Tokyo Motorcycle shows, Honda showed up with some interesting concept CB's
this yellow EX model with lots of chrome incl gauge covers, and headlight bucket, square mirrors, a two tone painted motor, a custom covered seat and spoke wheels
Also this mild blacked out café version with black 4 into 2 exhaust, bar end mirrors, a checker board themed tank and side covers, and a bum stop seat and upside down reservoir shocks
Probably the most radical of the design concepts was this full on Café version with brushed aluminum tank, upside down forks, upside down reservoir shocks, custom seat, seat cover, 4 into 2 stainless upswept exhaust, custom side covers, custom wheels, custom swingarm, wide rear tire, custom turn signals & tail light, bar end mirrors and more
However only a modified version of the checker board concept model has shown up on the Canada website as being available for purchase in 2016, which looks like the regular standard CB with round mirrors, 4 into 1 chrome exhaust with stainless header and standard seat, only sharing the paint from the concept model
and again, the standard with concept paint available as a special order ABS (run of 200 units) only in Japan, which makes me doubt that this model is showing up in Canada after all
and this CB ex ABS Special edition with a run of 250 units available in Japan only, with spoke wheels and two tone paint on the tank
so far Europe and the USA seem to be left out of the plans for new CB1100's for 2016.
