I sold mine, you bought yours! Yes, that's a smokin' deal.

Congrats and enjoy your new ride!
When I was shopping for a CB1100 last month, I considered a used 2013 at a local Kawasaki dealer for $6,285 with 4,250 miles on it. It came with an aftermarket rear rack. What concerned me there were gouges on the right side silver cover and adjacent frame members. the exhaust, engine casing looked fine though?
I would say you got an excellent deal!

That sounds like an excellent deal to me, letsjet.
I'm amazed at how impulsive people are. That story is surprisingly plausible: someone had a burst of nostalgia and/or aging anxiety and bought the bike with great enthusiasm. Rode it, realized the ol' backside was a tad wider and more tender than in the carefree days of youth and fitted the Corbin. Rode it again, realized "you can't go home again" and riding for them just didn't bring back the feelings and memories they expected. Maybe it was a bit scary. Put the bike back in the garage and never rolled it out again. Later on, decided to liquidate it when the next impulse purchased loomed (my bet: a sports car).

A dream deal with almost no miles. Great find, letsjet!
Lots of good options if you don't love the 4 into 1 exhaust (which to me is one of the design highlights of the standard, but many prefer the symmetry of the '14 DLX model). Stock from a '14 DLS is an excellent option, as Ron in MO has shown us, but there are also very cool options on Samurider's site, including several sexy four into fours.
With a deal like you just scored, you might have more in in your exhaust budget than you planned on! Enjoy.

Normally, recapturing your youth is pretty expensive. This time is was fairly affordable. Really happy with the purchase. If it wasn't snowing a bit in Reno I'd have ridden it home but it will be delivered in a couple of days. I've had upwards of 30 bikes over the years but this is my third Honda. Bought a new 1975 Red Honda 360T so I've always wanted a CB750, this bike is way better! Thanks to everyone for all the words of encouragement and congratulations.

Enjoy. Ride it like you stole it - sounds like you did!
