Honda CB1100 revealed an unseen café-racer concept this year. It is by far the most faithful of any attempt to recreate the charm of the 70s. The new CB1100 has up until now only been sold in Japan.
The only real nuances that stand out are a limited tank range and its US$14,990 price point. As I feel, its pricing is set a bit too high.
Returning 6 litres per 100km economy the 14.6 litre fuel cell is only good for a 240km range to empty. A fuel gauge is thankfully provided so you can keep an eye on things and a low fuel warning flashes when there is 3.5 litres remaining.
