Honda CB1100 S – 2014
Cadre n° JH2SC65C4EK001063

De nos jours, tout constructeur de grande série se doit d'avoir dans sa gamme un ou deux modèles rétro. Lorsque Honda a cherché dans ses anciens catalogues, son choix fut évident : la CB1100 s'inspirerait de la CB750, le précurseur datant de 1968. "La CB1100 est une magnifique recréation d'une quatre-cylindres refroidi par air ; elle est facile à maîtriser, tolérante envers les novices et elle présente cette merveilleuse allure des motos d'autrefois," écrivait Motor Cycle News. Ses livraisons au Japon, en Australie et en Nouvelle-Zélande commencèrent en 2011, mais le reste du monde dut patienter jusqu'en 2013. Avec son multicylindres refroidi par air, une première chez Honda depuis vingt ans, la CB1100 ne proposait qu'une modeste puissance de 88 chevaux mais, ce qui était bien plus important pour le marché visé, c'était sa courbe de couple remarquablement plate et donc ses généreuses reprises à moyen régime. Elle accusait toutefois 240 kg tous pleins faits, ce qui ne faisait pas d'elle un poids-plume. Et comme c'était une Honda, sa qualité de fabrication était sans égale. "C'est merveilleusement fabriqué," s'enthousiasmait MCN. "La finition est parfaite, de même que l'attention portée aux détails."

L'exemplaire proposé n'a jamais été immatriculé et il n'affiche véritablement qu'un kilomètre au compteur ; il est muni d'une copie de sa facture d'achat d'origine.

2014 Honda CB1100 S
Frame no. JH2SC65C4EK001063

Nowadays every mainstream manufacturer has to have a 'retro' model or two in the range, and when looking through its back catalogue for inspiration Honda made the obvious choice: basing its CB1100 on the trend-setting CB750 of 1968. "The CB1100 is a beautiful recreation of an air-cooled inline four; it's easy to handle and novice friendly and it has fantastic detailing inspired by bikes of old," declared Motor Cycle News. Deliveries to Japan, Australia and New Zealand began in 2011, while the rest of the world had to wait until 2013. Boasting Honda's first air-cooled multi-cylinder engine for 20 years, the CB1100 had a relatively modest maximum power output of 88bhp, but of far greater significance for its target market would have been the remarkably flat torque curve and consequently generous mid-range thrust. The CB1100 was no lightweight though, tipping the scales at 240kg wet. Being a Honda, its build quality was second to none. "It's all executed brilliantly," enthused MCN. "The finish is glorious, the attention to detail superb."

The example offered here has never been registered with literally 1 kilometre recorded on the odometer and is offered with a copy of its original purchase invoice.
