February is here and that means it’s almost time to start thinking about spring, which means it’s time for us to start serving up some Motorcycle Experience. Our TV show will be returning to TSN in April, but before then we’ll be adding new episodes to our Tech Tips web series and all-new road tests and safety segments on our YouTube channel. First up is a road test we shot on a 2016 Honda CB1100A.

We called on life-time Valkyrie devotee Dave Fox to take the CB1100A for a test ride. There’s no doubt that this 2016 model, with its 70s checkered paint and retro styling, is a striking motorcycle.  Honda is releasing a 2017 model that seems to be going for a more authentic cafe racer vibe, rather than whimsically referential like this 2016 design.

However, time will tell how the update measures-up. Dave Fox couldn’t find much to complain about in either mechanics or fit and finish of this 2016 model.  Check-out Dave’s full review below and follow the link to our YouTube channel if you’re looking for more Experience.
