New 2017 CB1100
Picked up my new Honda last week and it's a beautiful ride. My last bike was a 2011 Harley Dyna Super Glide Custom. The Harley was a very nice bike, but the CB1100 has a level of refinement that I never expected. Besides the smoothness of the engine and clutch, little things like LED lights, a helmet lock, great gauge placement, and ease of finding neutral have me as a definite Honda convert. And, I was surprised by the great sounding new exhaust. I don't miss the Harley rumble at all. The only thing I do miss is a set of self cancelling turn signals. Looking forward to many enjoyable miles on the road.

I've got a helmet guardian lock on my SV650, been on a dozen other bikes as they didn't come with that basic bit of kit.

Enjoy your new bike, looks gorgeous

I was surprized at the rumble of my new CB1100 mufflers as well. The EX not only looks retro, it sounds retro. I am always surprized when I don't have my ear plugs in how good it sounds.
