The price is $13,199 on the Honda Canada website http://motorcycle.honda.ca/newfor2013<br /><br />There is also a new line of three new 500 cc bikes for $6300 to $6800, but no retro version, which is the one I like best.Lost Motorcyclisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08873504561959138792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156536327610779049.post-47556515669356178632012-12-09T09:54:22.679-05:002012-12-09T09:54:22.679-05:00'Honda is also reaching out ... with their new...'<i>Honda is also reaching out ... with their new CB110</i>' ... <b>CB1100</b>, natch ;-)Madeyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02593933575568389288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156536327610779049.post-31586989550353347642012-12-09T09:49:56.818-05:002012-12-09T09:49:56.818-05:00I'm keeping my fingers crossed that CCW and Sy...I'm keeping my fingers crossed that CCW and Sym are able to succeed in the North American market. <br /><br />After decades of increasingly powerful (who <i>really</i> needs 200+ HP?!) it's refreshing to see these smaller bikes becoming available. For those of us who started riding in the <i>Dark Ages</i>, 150 to 250 cc displacements were common (and 650s were pretty much the preserve of affluent speed demons!)<br /><br />It's also interesting that there is now actually a choice between the 'sport' configuration (e.g. Honda's CBR250R and Kawi's Ninja 300) and the 'standard' configuration, harking back to the 'good old days' of UJMs, witness the Sym and Misfit ... http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/8/13102/Motorcycle-Article/SYM-Wolf-Classic-vs--CCW-tha-Misfit.aspx<br /><br />Then again, Honda is also reaching out to those who miss the UJMs of the seventies (but who still have a <i>need for speed</i>) with their new <a href="http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/motorcycles/2013models/2013-Honda-CB1100.htm" rel="nofollow">CB110</a>. Very tasty. Although I suspect some will raise their eyebrows at an 1150 cc bike that only cranks out around 80 HP ;-)<br /><br />http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/motorcycles/2013models/2013-Honda-CB1100.htm<br /><br /><br /><br />Madeyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02593933575568389288noreply@blogger.com
