Called them today to pull the trigger...everything was looking good until I got a phone call back a few minutes later that the special price had "expired" and the new price was $8500 OTD.That would really bite. The dealer in Beaverton (Portland) gave me a price of 7940, and then I had to go out of country for a few weeks, but they held the price for me when I got back...this was Christmas/New Year a few months back.
Look, I know the bike is WORTH IT but the principle of the matter bugs me, we had a deal, then we didn't.
So I'm gonna keep looking for now.
If you're interested, the dealer in Eugene, OR has one for the price you want:

But if you want to save even more money, this might be interesting and it's in your area I believe:

Wow! I got real excited about that Seattle listing and then saw that he still has a lien on the title....too messy. But thanks!
Yeah, it is gonna happen very soon, I can feel it.

But thanks!That just depends on which bank is being used. As long as you can show up during business hours with a cashiers check made out to the bank, you can leave with the title paperwork directly from the bank. Washington state uses an electronic title system for banks.

Well folks, I finally did it. I bought a twin. From the same rascals that jerked me around on price the first time, but it seems like it was now or never. Still got a fair deal on it, but man that is an odd bunch over there in Seattle.
At any rate, I'm pretty much set for life on my bikes, methinks. I'm also moving to warmer environs in a few weeks, where as one dealer said "we ride 12 months a year." Yay!! That is what I'm talking about, can't wait!!

Good on you, DaSwami. You know the rule: pictures or it didn't happen!

What did you get and where are you moving too?

I'm pretty sure he bought a second CB. Where he's moving to is a mystery.

Correct, a second CB1100. Moving to the Florida panhandle!!
Many will think I'm weird, and that's OK. The thing is, I have two of an identical bike so whichever one I ride it looks like I have just one.....so it does not outwardly appear that I am being pretentious!

Can I upload pics from my desktop? Or do I need a hosting account??
RE: Am I crazy for buying another?? - kennyw - 05-28-2016
From your desktop, you need a hosting site like photobucket.
RE: Am I crazy for buying another?? - Cormanus - 05-28-2016
Or you need to reduce the file size of each picture to comply with the forum's limit. I think that's about 250 kb. It's easier to use a hosting site.
