I was on my way to work Friday afternoon, driving north on Hwy 217 when what should pull along side me silent as a ghost? A drop dead gorgeous '14 CB in red livery. It appeared to be completely stock. First one I've seen as my local dealer is still trying to sell the '13 that they still have. I suppose Beaverton Honda has them, but I haven't visited ol' Bob for a while. Anyway, CB's seem as rare as hen's teeth in my part of the country so it's fun to see one. Owning a bike that's rather scarce makes my Honda special & that adds to the cool factor.
Enjoy your weekend,

I've yet to see one - 2013 or 2014 - on the road, and no 2014 DLX in a showroom.
I live in So Cal and have only seen two CB1100 at any given time. They are rare; and I like it like that.
Remember the CB1100F, they too were/are few and far between.
Nice being in an exclusive club of riders.
In my garage, parked next to the RC51.
Darn thing must have snuck in there.
Still working on my GB 500 [now GB 650] rebuild.

When I picked up my 2013 another customer was picking up a '14 STD. There is a new '13 now again for sale at Hillsboro Motorsports
That's pretty cool!
I live in a small province, and with the number of CB's that have come to Canada being quite limited, I think there are only four in the entire province.
The largest Honda dealer is in my city and they only received two last year and this year so my chances of running into another CB owner are quite slim. One '13 was sold in the city, and the other '13 and '14 were sold outside of the city area.
Come to think of it, I rather like being somewhat exclusive

That's interesting. I sold a BMW 1150 RT a few years ago to a fellow from B.C. who showed up with a trailer in tow. He told me he couldn't find one in his neck of the woods. These bikes are much more often seen than the seemingly exclusive CB1100's are around here.

I've been keeping an eye out for another CB1100 and have yet to see one on the road ('13 or '14). The dealership where I got mine is rather large but I took the only one they had. They said it's a special order bike that they don't normally keep in stock. Before buying mine, I did see a few listed on Cycletrader.com for various dealerships in town. I like that they're rare too.
I have seen quite a few here, a 13 just the other day. Funny a guy from the next street over, (maybe a mile from me) bought a 14 dlx and I have yet to see him on the road.
Literally, the only one I have seen is Headbangers up at the vintage bike show in Louisville.
