New Honda CB1100F from Tokyo Motor Show

Honda bring it's 1980 heritage motorcycle to Tokyo Motor Show 2007, CB1100F. It still bring it's retro style, almost the same with Old Honda CB which become a road king in Indonesia in 1970. Besides this retro bike, Honda also bring a retro-style racer (the CB1100R), an over-the-top naked bike concept (the EVO6), an automatic transmission equipped DN-01, CB1300 and CB400 bikes, and a maxi-scooter (the Forza Z.)

New Honda CB1100F from Tokyo Motor Show

Honda has a rich history of iconic machines, and with this model—as well as its sister, the [LINK TO CB1100R] CB1100R prototype—it may be looking to cash in on that heritage. Styled much like the classic CB400F of 1975-1978, the CB1100F uses twin shocks, a tube frame and an air-cooled 1100cc four-cylinder motor that looks similar to the one in the Japan-market CB750 that was released last year.

Styling is tastefully vintage Honda. The blocky yet proportioned tank, like the minimal seat and perfectly curved headers are reminiscent of the mid-’70s Honda Supersports. Chrome fenders and mirrors make you want to put on a leisure suit and dance the night away, and the taillight housing and turnsignals have a soft, aluminum luster to them.
