HONDA CB1100EX (2013-2014) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2014, along with the CB1100 Deluxe edition, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer also launched the CB1100EX, an exclusive treat for the Japanese and European markets that brought even more retro styling into the spotlight.

Some of the features packed by the CB1100EX included a redesigned, larger fuel tank than the standard one, revised side panels and seat, a passenger grab handle, and a round headlight mounted a tad higher.

But the most noticeable improvements were represented by the chromed, dual exhaust mufflers and the wire-spoked wheels that enhanced its already retro looks.

The bike featured a classic tubular steel double cradle frame that held the engine with four rigid and two rubber mounts and a box-section steel swingarm. On the front end, the bike packed a 41 mm conventional telescopic fork with spring preload adjustability and a pair of Showa shock absorbers on the rear.

In the braking department, the bike featured two 296 mm full-floating discs with four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 256 mm disc squeezed by a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel that provided strong braking performance.

As for power, the 2014 Honda CB1100EX had its soul brought to life by a 1,140cc four-stroke four-cylinder air-cooled engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system and delivered an output power of 89 hp with maximum strength at 7,500 rpm and 93 Nm (68 lb-ft) of torque available at 5,000 rpm.
