RE: .....and yet another new guy
Hi Edgey, good to see another UK member. Great bike, I have a white EX also Shy

Although your machine is brand new to you it is probably, like mine which I bought new 6 months or so ago, a 2014 model. It will have been sitting in storage somewhere waiting for you to come along and buy it. I think I am right in saying that the 2014 is still the current spec/model here in the UK. Your dealer might well have flanneled a little over this point, as mine did Dodgy

Anyway, always stand to be corrected, and regardless - you'll love it Celebrate

Enjoy.

In fairness i think you are totally correct. I think it is the 2014 model but registered in 2016.

To be fair the 2014 model has been the only imported version for the last 2 years in the UK.

I wonder if the bike will continue to be imported given the Euro 4 regulastions.

Sorry to all our colonial cousins and local Brits if my posts have caused any confusion. Its an age thing ya know Thumbs UpThumbs Up

Congrats on your EX! There are a number of folks on this side of the pond who would not only love to find a new leftover DLX (or EX), but also to have your wire wheels. I'd swap for a set if I could!

Just so you know we weren't trying to correct you so much as trying to keep an accurate record in the "HISTORY of the CB1100" section of our archives on this model.
