When it hit the floor at the Tokyo Motor Show last year, the Honda CB1100F looked like much more than a concept. With its engine acting as a stressed member of the chassis, and its engine an all-new air-cooled design (that allows air between the two middle cylinders of the inline four), this looked a lot like a future production model.
MCN in England is reporting that the bike will go into production in 2009, and will immediately be available in the U.S. market that year. I can hear our baby-boomer readers rejoicing right now!
