Remember about 18-24 months ago, when anything with wheels was stupid expensive? I got Carvana emails offering to pay me almost what I paid for my car new. In the SoCal area, I was seeing 2013 CB1100s going for $8-$9k. I thought "Wow, did I make a great decision to buy this instant classic, that's now worth almost double what I paid for it just a few years ago!"

Been watching the used market settle back down... Got a Carvana email a few weeks ago, offering paltry yet realistic trade-in value for my eight-year-old car. And CB1100 asking prices are back down to around what they were before everything went nuts. Still a tick above what I saw in 2019 when I was shopping, but not by much.

Example, here's a '13 for sale just a few miles north of me for $5500. If I didn't have one, I'd be on it: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/ite...7a3cb7c918

'14 Standards are more, but not by astronomical numbers.

What are you guys seeing where you live?

hi guys,

as an owner of a 2019 EX, I was starting to wonder on replacing my baby to an Harley Davidson Heritage Classic.. what are your thoughts about it?

My OEM battery is now some 7 or 8 years past her (unknwn) manufacturing date. She's been mistreated by the former owner, and this is how she performs these last days:

- last frequent rides in October,
- temps these days, lower 40
- put her on a charger, and the charger says "full" without delay
- push the starter button any time, and the engine runs ....
- a few short rides, not enough to charge her ...
NO CHANGE

Last winter the same. Didn't charge, even after 4 weeks in the garage. There was no need to charge.

Sure, this is nothing to complain about, but ... when has lead battery technology made such a leap in performance and lifetime? I am stupefied.

I'm jut gonna toss this up for you guys.

It's just some pics from when I had my seat made at Corbin.

Not that it really makes a difference, but I'm in Florida, it's 2:36 pm as I type this , yet the forum time up there in the right-hand corner is 2 hours in the future...
I just posted here and noticed this little glitch, afterwards.
Am I time traveling or somewhere out in the Atlantic Ocean due East of Florida???

If you are going out for a ride today be especially aware of left turners, people with out of town plates looking for a street or address, or people pulling slowly in or out of driveways. Lots of travelers today that may be unfamiliar with the area and doing stupid stuff unintentionally.

For the past six months or so, I have seen a guy riding around near my office when I take my afternoon walk. He's either riding an Interceptor 650 with a sidecar, or a CB1100. I've seen his bikes parked in front of stores near my house as well.

You have to admit that it's a bit strange to know that there's someone out there, who is near your house and your office, and who rides two of the bikes you own. I've only seen the bikes parked, or seen the guy riding down the street.

Today, I saw the Interceptor parked near my office, and he was walking toward the bike. I ran across the street against traffic and finally met the guy. He's very nice, and luckily wasn't sent from another dimension to kill and replace me. Or at least that's the vibe I got.

So, mystery solved, and now I know there's someone around who shares the love for the same bikes as me.

Well, time the renew the insurance. My agent has sent me a quote that is shockingly high all of a sudden. Might be because of my move, but what are ya'll paying for full coverage of a CB1100 that is ridden less than 5k mi/yr?

Hello, went to start my EX this cold morning after sitting for a week and did something that hasn't done before.

It started on first go but did a cough like action and when started it was not smooth, felt like a cylinder was not firing. The engine light was On (first time I see that) and after 5 min ride around the block and having warmed up a bit all was fine. The idle settled nicely, firing consistently. Never happened to me before and I wonder whether it is due to the battery as it is now 5-6 years old.
I should add that the engine light remained on even when I switched on and off and that the digital clock was showing 1.00 instead of the right time.

I take it they revised the 14 center stand to a center spring & different bend to also fit the dual exhaust 14 deluxe; but can a 2013 center stand still be installed on a 2014 standard?
