2013 Honda CB1100 ...c'mon Triumph
Just read this review on the 2013 Honda CB1100:

$9999 MSRP. That's not bad. Gosh, I hope Triumph responds very soon with an upsized Bonnie for me to buy!

 A very good mate of mine has just ordered one of these, and he'll get it in January. I've no doubt he'll let me have a go, so I'll report back next year. I am not a fan of Honda, so it should be interesting!

I'll bet you'll say that it feels like a CB500F on steroids....

The CB1100 is the bike I wanted before I bot my 2012 T100. However, after adding Rox Risers, Burton Seat, TORS, lower pegs, 17th front sprocket, Triumph bar-end mirrors, and other farkles, the T100 is just about perfect. I don't see a CB1100 in my near future.
But, it does look pretty cool.

I can see a ton of after market parts become available for this model following its release

I read that they were finally bringing this bike over. I vowed that if they ever did, I would buy it...and I just paid off the Bonnie on friday! I have to be strong...
There are going to be a lot of these bikes tricked out in the next couple years. Can't wait to see 'em.

At 540lbs and HP in the 80s, a well-tuned Bonne/Thrux should be faster and more nimble. Cool-looking retro flier just the same.
