Campaign to bring the CB1100 back to Australia - Guth - 02-25-2014 07:51 PM Honda Australia has stopped importing the CB1100 into the country. Forum member Phil Hastie (Phastie) has started a campaign to encourage Honda to reconsider and bring the bike back to Australia once again. I thought this deserved some extra attention, thus this announcement. Good luck Phil!

Thanks for your support and POST, hopefully it resonates RE: Campaign to bring the CB1100 back to Australia - Aussie - 02-26-2014 12:01 AM Unfortunately (and inexplicably! ) they didn't sell very well in Australia. This proved a bonanza for those of us who picked one up brand new for a 'fire sale' price. The downside to that is Honda Australia will be very reluctant to get burned again. I should add that stranger things have happened, so I will cross my fingers for you. RE: Campaign to bring the CB1100 back to Australia - rmack - 02-26-2014 04:02 AM Hate to be the bad news person but the chance of this bike coming back for sale in australia is highly improbable (impossible ) The first batch sat in most dealerships for 2 years (mine for over 2 years ) and the only way to clear them was a $2000 bonus to the dealers from Honda so this plus selling them for cost less the 2 grand they found a market . Having said that at their original price they were way overpriced and not worth the original retail price. RE: Campaign to bring the CB1100 back to Australia - CB4ME - 02-26-2014 05:17 AM Compared to most countries, transportation costs to Australia should be a bit lower. Can anyone tell us what original retail list prices were in 2010 / 2011 (in US dollars)? Campaign to bring the CB1100 back to Australia - Cormanus - 02-26-2014 03:09 PM My recollection is that they retailed for around A$15,000. That's just under USD$13,500 at today's exchange rate. I might be wrong, though, about the price. Other Australian members may know.

Thats correct the listed retail was just on $15000 i have harrased the honda rep every time he calls here to look at trying the model again RE: Campaign to bring the CB1100 back to Australia - davidsargee - 02-26-2014 07:32 PM Why so much? Are other bikes costlier in Australia than in the U.S.A. ? RE: Campaign to bring the CB1100 back to Australia - Tyke57nz - 03-02-2014 05:24 PM Apparently NZ will not be getting any official 2014 CB1100`s either, this information came whilst talking with Honda NZ this morning. RE: Campaign to bring the CB1100 back to Australia - RUSS1100 - 03-04-2014 07:26 PM I paid $14,990 ride away for mine. No regrets. |
