I got the equivalent of $7,100 USD for my 2018 EX with just shy of 20K kilometres on it. It is a tough market here in Ireland for 2nd hand bikes and the interest level was tiny. Having said that chrome laden bikes are a little shied away from as we have such a wet climate, they are a lot of work if you want to ride them regularly.

No plan to do so, I was just thinking about it, and I thought I'd probably accept U.S. 6,000 although I'd want 7,000, and your 10,000 Canadian is about $7,100 U.S. ... so pretty close.

So I'll ride the CB1100 to see which one of us lasts longer--the CB, or me. If it's me...I'll go back to the lighter, smaller W. If the CB outlasts me...that will no longer be a concern of mine.
So bottom line question: if your interested seller offers the 10k...is that a done deal? Will be interesting to see what he thinks of your bike at your price.
I have only one CB, the other one, white 2014 std with 134 k kms was sold last April within few minutes , and I've never heard anything since = very sure it has been a bulletproof bike!
I might let him take a look at it, but definietely don't want to play sales games.

There’s one in my area on FB with 174k miles right now for a very reasonable price.

Wow 174k miles is seriously impressive.
Mines getting close to 80,000 I think, and I can't imagine trying to sell it with that many miles on it, without basically giving it away

Don't we have a US member with this impressive or even greater mileage without any issues or/and valve adjustment??

That was my bike with 174,000 miles on it. I never did a valve adjustment on it. It always ran great. Never had a problem. The guy selling it is actually trying to double his money.

If you ever hear how he gets on, Matt, could you let us know?

This thread affirms a few of my long held beliefs:
CB1100 owners love their motorcycles and part with them reluctantly. Many have seller’s remorse.
For all the grief given to Honda about the CB1100 being too heavy, too restricted, too whatever, those very “deficits” are what enable a CB1100 to go on forever.
A CB1100EX is faster in a quarter mile than most standard sports cars and everyday V8s on the road today.
Few riding situations give a motorcyclist the opportunity to take advantage of 160 HP unless they are running from Johnny Law.
The weight, which is often cited as a huge deficit, is what enables a CB1100 to be used as a tourer. By touring standards, it is a light motorcycle. The CB1100 is truly the last of the universal Japanese motorcycle, equally drivable in urban, rural, and touring settings.
Because it is a metal bike with brilliant finishes, it ages exceptionally well in all conditions. But in a covered garage, it can look like a show room motorcycle with a small investment in time and proper cleaning products.
Over 50% of all motorcycles running in the world are air-cooled because that engineering is simpler, easier to maintain, and incredibly reliable.
CB1100s often clock 45 MPG (5.23 L/100km) if ridden by a reasonably mature rider.
Worldwide beef production creates vastly more greenhouse gas emissions than all motorcycles combined.
And most importantly for you handsome devils, you look good standing next to and riding on a CB1100.
Have a great weekend and try to find some time to ride your beautiful CB1100. Be safe. David

Wow, 174k is pretty impressive. I'll never hit that number, but it's great to know that the bike can do it!
