While I wish otherwise, I figure that may end up being true for the US, as well. Most of the dealers here in Houston are not even bringing in the 2014 model. After struggling to sell their 2013's (several still haven't), they just are not interested. I am doubting whether the US will even see the 2015's at all. Reminds me of the little GB500 cafe bike. When new, nobody cared. Now try to buy one for less than an arm and a leg.

As a niche bike, it was never expected to sell in large numbers. I'm hoping it works out like the last generation CB750 (also a niche bike). Each dealer only sold a few of them each year, but Honda kept making 'em for 12 model years.

I was surprised they brought out the 2014 model. I guess they are selling well enough world wide to keep us in the loop a bit longer. The Griso is a real niche bike and I see more of them than the CB!

I've seen one other CB1100 (a '13) in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area. A young man in his mid-20s was the operator, and he had a female passenger, same age group.

Im 25 years old and as soon as I saw this bike I knew I had to trade the harley for it. And have loved the decision ever since, but still have not seen one on the road and when I bought my 14 they made me sign all the papers before they would even get the crate out of the warehouse and build it cause they were sitting on a 13 on the floor and wanted it gone.
