Nice looking bike, I’ve got a black one 2014, smooth and powerful, simple, Here in the states I compare mine to Clint Eastwood , every time I ride it, it makes my day, great video
As you can see, they aren't. These Japanese spec bikes from 2014 not only are 5 speed but still carry the CB1100A code which is the original 2010 code elsewhere in the world. Contrary to what some people may think or say, I found it to be a tractable engine and the gearbox is a good match as the gears are long, so you can rev it out in every gear, torque comes in early and when it fades you are in max power so the darn thing still pulls, no need for short shifting as you would with a twin. It could be a personal preference as well, I like long gears, especially on smooth quiet bikes that don't feel like they are working hard over 5k rpm.
nice bike nice vlog..good luck... what about engine overheating ( air cooled )? no worries? what about tube tires instead of tubeless? no worries? thank you...
Overheating is not an issue, Honda made the cooling fins very thin and large, and there is also an oil cooler, besides it's a low compression engine, with a large oil capacity, so it doesn't really create heat that is to be concerned about. And tires are indeed tubeless, at least on my CB as it comes with cast aluminum wheels and not the spokes. Cast aluminum wheels also weight much less, which creates less unsprung weight, less power required to move
@@saoud6740 tires with tubes are not an issue, a great number of adventure bikes you see on the street have tubes, dirt bikes mostly have tubes. The difference is that when you get a puncture you have to take the tire off and patch the tube, while a tubeless tire you can plug until you get a new one

Are you in the uae?
Yup, no secrets there
@@todxbranko ive been to abu dhabi and dubai a few times. I always wanted to bike in that area! It had that familiar look!
It's a good place for two wheels as long as you don't mind the heat 🥵🥵

Thanks for replying. so if your bike was tubed tires you still consider buying it? or it is a deal breaker ? for me it seems so.
