This is the last of the iconic CB1100 the last remaining air-cooled inline four cylinder.

The CB1100 is not Euro 5 emissions compliant, and no longer sold in Europe and the USA and will also no longer be available in Japan as is was one of the last remaining markets for the CB1100.

Honda plans to build 1600 CB1100 motorcycles, the CB1100 RS Final Edition and the CB1100 EX Final Edition.

The EX version is getting two colour schemes, deep red or black, each with chrome mudguards, wire wheels and the higher, wider bars of the more traditional-looking EX. Meanwhile, the RS – with modern alloy wheels, radial Tokico brakes, an alloy swingarm, improved Showa suspension and lower, narrower bars – is to be sold in red or matt blue. All versions have ‘Final Edition’ stickers on top of the fuel tanks and new graphics.

Initially seen as a concept bike that appeared at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show, the CB1100 revived the layout just as other manufacturers appeared to give up on such designs due to the difficulty in getting them to pass emissions laws. Initially made to meet Euro 3 standards, the CB1100 also managed to achieve Euro 4 levels – an impressive feat of engineering that arguably wasn’t rewarded with the sales success that Honda might have expected, particularly given the interest in retro-style bikes during recent years.
