Although there aren’t many details available about the new Honda CB1100 it has just been confirmed that it’s making it into production. Based on the CB1100 concept from 2007 this no-nonsense bike is sure to bring a thrill to any cafe-racer’s heart. It should also prove to be an excellent base for customisation – as evidenced by the red custom concept in the photos.

The CB1100 is a welcome return to a time when well specced, high quality bikes were built to do everything instead of just fitting one style of riding like today’s sportsbikes, tourers, etc. It’s great to see retro done so well – and this bike promises to be a future classic in its own right.
