peter … webike in japan claims has them…

Hello Nigel, well it all started about a year ago when my good friend Adam Tromp, owner of Iconic Motorbikes here in California told me he was importing 5 CB1100r’s from South Africa. I told him i wanted one so he said I could have the pick of the litter. When they arrived, I picked mine. They are all riders, no garage queens. I just need to give it an oil change , brake bleed and a good carb cleaning. The 1100 fired right up. I gave it a good wash and cleaned everything. I have been riding my R any chance I get. Such a smooth ride and plenty of power. I just got back from a 300-mile ride with some friends and I can tell you it was a very comfortable ride.
Fast forward 6 months and Adam still has 4 1100’s siting in his shop. All in need of carb work, some electrical and a basic cleaning and light restore. I could see he just didn’t have time to work on them so I made him an offer on all 4 and he took the offer. All I can say is I got a killer deal on the 4 1100’s. They all need work but all the bodywork, carbs and items needed to get them on the road are there. I have plenty of work in front of me but all 4 will be back on the road and I will sell them through the Iconicmotorbikes auction site. All will be nice daily riders, no garage queens. They have miles on them and have been sitting for some time. As you can see in the pictures, they impressive looking bikes. I do not have stock exhaust which is a shame but all have Cowley 4 into 1 exhaust. I have all the tank, seats and lower for all bikes.
I will keep the group posted on my progress … Can’t wait to get the first one on the road.
