Under increasingly stringent emission regulations, Nippon Tian Japan officially released a news that the CB1100EX and CB1100RS models have launched the "final version".
This means that the classic retro car CB1100 is about to be discontinued.
In the near future, the CB1100 may be directly replaced with the current CM1100 in-line twin-cylinder engine , and it is also equipped with a DCT gearbox. It is basically a CM1100 shell replacement.
However, this one can be said to be the most meaningful car in Honda's history. Once gone, it will not return.
: I know that a friend will definitely tell me that I was wrong. The most meaningful thing is the cub.
Of course, the status of the cubs is still irreplaceable. After all, Honda relies on the cubs to go global. In 2017, the global sales of more than 100 million units of the cubs are indispensable.
However, in my opinion, the cub is going in a completely different direction from CB. It was a hit from the US market and paved the world market from the width; Highly up to create an era.
Today we will talk in detail about the car in front of me.
At the beginning, I still have to explain: CB1100 is currently on sale in two cars in China.One is the CB1100 ABS in my article today, the official price is 159,600; the other is CB1100RS, the price is 178,800. The differences between
are as follows:
First of all, I want to emphasize that this is not an evaluation article.
Because the friends who really spent 160,000 to 70,000 to buy this car, they must not want the evaluation that I usually do. You can refer to other media if you want to see acceleration from 100 kilometers, braking distance, and corner performance.
In fact, the hardware of this car itself has nothing to say, 1140cc displacement, inline four-cylinder , air and oil cooling, maximum horsepower of 91 horsepower, maximum torque of 90 Nm.
The key is: it is a pure retro car from the inside out.
Many friends said, are you nonsense? How many retro cars are there now? I will count you a lot with my fingers.
However, please pay attention to my attribute: "from the inside out".
In today's automotive industry, what is the largest brand in the world?
may be Tesla (haha~), it may be Volkswagen, it may be Toyota, maybe , Daimler, or even Fiat Chrysler PSA comes up again, this is at least one Topics that can be discussed, and at a certain point in time, you can click on the leaderboard to pay attention to.
But in the motorcycle world, it can even be said that the largest brand in the next few decades does not need to be discussed at all, because it must be Honda.
I really can't think of an industry, a type of brand, and which Honda has a high status in the motorcycle species.
This feels like when we were young, when talking about off-road vehicles, you instinctively call it " jeep ".
In fact, jeep is just a brand, because it is so classic and representative that we equated the three words jeep with off-road vehicles before.
This may be able to describe the high status of Jeep brand products at the time.
Nowadays, when many people think of off-road vehicles, the image of the Wrangler will naturally appear in their minds.
Honda CB1100 is just such a car.
It is what our people think of traditional motorcycles as they should be.
Why do I say that the CB1100 is one of the most meaningful motorcycles in Honda’s history?
because,It is the most orthodox and direct inheritor of CB750four.
In the ten years from 1959 to 1969, Honda was not satisfied with the great success of the excellent performance of the CB inline twin-cylinder engine. On the contrary, Honda, which won the championship in motorcycle racing, decided to use the CB series. Introduce a four-cylinder engine.
So, the famous CB750Four model made its way onto the stage of history.
As the world's first mass-produced four-cylinder motorcycle, the CB750Four is an undisputed legendary model. It not only has reliable performance, but also led the Japanese motorcycle industry to break through the world's dimensions, as a well-deserved star model of the CB series.
Friends who are familiar with my previous article must know why in your mind that all the European and American motorcycle manufacturers that are driving to the sky are collectively KO?
Why are the many motorcycle brands in Europe and the United States whose names sound very high today, do you want to die, or do you desperately promote their history and literary style?
was the launch of Japanese motorcycles headed by Honda CB750four in 1969. They swept the world with inline four-cylinder engines, low prices and abnormal stability until today.
No way, just talk about history and limit every day. I have something to sell and the supply exceeds demand. I still have a limited amount. Am I sick?
CB750 was born in the forty years until 2007,It has been constantly evolving and changing models.
replaced it with today's protagonist CB1100. When the concept car was released in 2007, Honda made it clear that it was the successor of the CB750.
I remember it seems that CB11 has undergone a major facelift since it was officially released in 2010, right? I really don’t remember the specific number of times, and I don’t bother to check it. In fact, these so-called changes do not matter at all. We have to change them.
So, retro is not the appearance of a retro car, it is retro. (Originally I wanted to post pictures, forget it)
You can say that this is a selling point, but the three major pieces and configurations are all made like a retro car, and in fact it is a retro car in itself. For most enthusiasts, the difference is still very different.
This can also explain the traditional Harley why it is very difficult to join the modern configuration, because it is afraid of destroying the flavor.
History, heritage, orthodoxy. These three words can perfectly explain what a real retro car is.
Of course, everyone has a different aesthetic.
You may think that the traditional Harley’s retro car is God, of course there is nothing wrong with this.
But I personally think that although European and American retro cars have a longer history, they have really entered our lives and came to us, much later than Japanese retro cars such as CB11.
When I was young, cars like CG125, all kinds of cars in this shape, until now many small city motorcycles are like this.
Speaking of retro, there is another point worth paying attention to, that is the configuration of this CB1100.
Until now, most of my friends talk about cars and motorcycles, regardless of whether your suspension is adjustable, what the frame is, and how the engine technology is. The first level of concern must be the displacement and the non-trivial configuration. , Exhaust sound waves.
So if you want to talk about retro, you can make up your mind. I said that this car is a retro car, and it turns out that it is equipped with electronic control to the teeth and various rebound preload compressions. Adjustable suspension, a variety of dazzling LED headlight combinations, and a configuration list that can't be pulled out of a page.
Do you think something is wrong?
The configuration is high, but do you feel that there is always something blocking you to experience a publicly upgraded four-cylinder engine purely at zero distance?
Adding configuration and adjusting these configurations at the same time is difficult for Honda? As for this car, is there only one ABS configuration?
Of course not, this kind of original car condition without anything is the most retro.
Maybe you have to say again, such a large displacement,A super-public upgraded motorcycle that can accelerate from 100 kilometers to 4 seconds, is it not equipped to kill people?
Indeed, after a test drive of this car, I found that after the wheels actually started to turn, it gave me a very brisk feeling. With its 140 rear tire, it was also more flexible to tip over on dry roads.
The whole engine is exceptionally smooth and powerful. I was often taught before that "the four cylinders did not vibrate". Maybe he wanted to express this feeling.
The overall performance of the brake and suspension is not enough by modern motorcycle standards.
It is definitely not slow, and its huge lung capacity ensures that it has enough capacity to do mid-stage acceleration.
But how many people ride it for racing and passion?
After at least I gave two big oils, I never wanted to ride fast anymore. This car should be 40-60 ride slowly, and soon it will delay me in an extremely comfortable sitting position, comfortably appreciate its charming and beautiful engine running sound and exhaust sound.
People around can't see that I am riding an imported retro car made by Kumamoto.
is true. When you ride this bike, you really don't want to ride fast. All I want is to enjoy the long time with it.
In summary, cars like CB11 are, in general, a car that has been in contact with us for a long time. This retro is truly pure "ancient".
Maybe we have grown up,We got married and wrinkled around the corners of our eyes. We blushed when we talked to girls, and our skins were already thick and numb.
However, it still looks like that. It is the last air-cooled inline four-cylinder commercial vehicle currently on the market. (Let’s not mention the waterwheels and collectibles)
Take a look at this classic round light, round instrument panel, round turn signal, and round horn.
Look at the four straight full chrome-plated bilateral exhausts in the front section.
Look, this is large and comfortable, without any over-modified seats.
Look at this 1140cc air-oil-cooled four-cylinder engine.
Look at this chrome-plated metal piece.
There is also the size that can't be seen in the photo.
The curb weight of this car is 258Kg. Although it looks like a car with a mass of up to 400, it really feels too heavy when I straighten it and implement it.
What is feeling? Maybe you and I have their own answers, but CB11 is the feelings of most of our generation of car friends, shouldn't there be too many people opposing it?
I dare to describe the portrait of a typical CB1100 car owner: it must be older than me at least,Quiet and quiet, successful in business, busy with daily official duties, low-key and introverted, non-noisy gatherings, paying attention to taste and details.
They are definitely not motorcycle enthusiasts like me. Usually the car is covered with car clothes in a neat and tidy manner. It is determined not to ride on rainy or snowy days. Usually, at most half a month and a month, you have to wipe the car clean, and leisurely stroll around the coffee shop or tea house.
is currently on sale as well as the CB1300, but it is a completely modern street car, which is very different from the CB11, which is a car that is retro to face.
I will borrow the CB13 and talk to you about that car.
What we love will eventually pass away. Of course, I understand that, and I can also look at every parting in life with a chaotic attitude. Maybe it's accustomed to it.
In the future, there may be conditions. I will still buy this dream car, but at that time, my body, mentality, and everything around may be different.
Very helpless, the old will go; very helpless, we look forward to your new life.
By the way, I said at the end of the article how to choose between CB11 and RS version. If you read the complete article, you should have the answer in your mind. With the tonality of this car, I think there is and only the standard version meets its positioning.
