I hear you. $6k is a bit of a stretch for me. I may have to wait longer if I can't sell privately.

Also, it's one thing to be dissatisfied with a product, but to want a different product even more doesn't necessarily mean that a person isn't happy with what they bought. We all have different preferences. For many, the 2013 model was the best thing going back when it was released. Now for some, the 2014 Deluxe model will supplant the 2013 offering as the bike that comes the closest to their ideal. That doesn't strike me as being all that difficult to understand. I hope that everyone out there who is pining for a 2014 model is able to find a way to make it happen. Especially if that means selling or trading in a 2013 model. The more CB1100s out there being ridden, the better.

Agreed
Awesome reply.
You are dead right

Btw
look for a Ducati Sport Classic. You might like it. Or from the sounds of your research which is similar to mine you have likely considered it already

Who in here is complaining? And what are they complaining about? I bought an '03 Sportster back in '03... because I wanted it. Then once I had it, I realized I wanted a rubber mounted, fuel injected Superglide so I traded for it the next year. Was that complaining? No. I realized it wasn't what I wanted and took the hit in the trade. I still have that Superglide today... and will only trade it when I'm ready to buy a Road King or some other more suitable Harley touring mount. My '09 KLR has a carburetor... I hate that! But am I complaining? No. However, if they came out with a fuel injected KLR, I'd consider trading for it. My life is full of things I bought then changed my mind on... a Corvette from a Mustang. A 19 foot ski boat from a 25 foot cruiser. Did I do my research? You bet. But once the item was mine, the hunt was over and the ownership began. We could talk houses, beachfront condo's, suv's, luxury cars.. but as Hillary said... 'What difference does it make? '. I really enjoy my 2013 CB1100... however I think I would enjoy a 2014 CB1100 EX even more. And I bet that I'm not alone. I did my research... I went to Daytona and talked to AMERICAN HONDA REPS. I went to the Progressive / Cycle World show in Atlanta. I've cruised the net.... I joined this forum... before I bought. NO WHERE was there any inclination that an updated version would be introduced for 2014. Not back in June when I bought the '13 and not as recently as this Fall. Not for here... not for anywhere. If that's a problem... then it's MY problem... because at the end of the day, it's MY money. And besides I like what Guth stated... that'll put another CB1100 out there... And that's GOOD for all of us. Ride safe my friend.

This was before he would come back as a spirit and influence the guy who would eventually go on to take credit for the CB1100 concept. I really shouldn't say anything more, but the 2017 version of this bike is really going to blow people away. To this day, I still could do without any more sake.

Guth...why are you admitting to this? You're going to jeopardize the whole thing!

On another note, the dealer called back with new numbers but I haven't
connected with them yet. And... the wife is ok with the trade... so
who knows.

The 4 into 2 pipes with actual double wall chromed head pipes, the instrumentation with the gear indicator, the differently patterened seat, then add in the 1" higher bars, the 6 speed trans, the larger capacity fuel tank.

Believe me I researched this bike for 3 years, and ordered it before my dealer even knew it was available. Most of us that desired the bike figured this might be a one shot deal and like Rboe said a one year model. It was discussed at length here.

Believe me had i know or had an inkling that there would be an upgraded model only 1 year later, I'd have waited. Then I would have had a choice, the original sporty model or the upgraded model.

I like the symmetry of the dual exhaust ( my wife agrees it looks like somethings missing with a 4 into 1) I like the "waterfall"" chrome head pipes, over the "dirty snakes" swoopy stainless. I like the color matched side covers, I like the chrome bar ends, I like the polished master cylinder caps... Then there is that whole laundry list of other upgrades

I bought my 13 sight unseen and have no fear of buying a 14 DLX sight unseen.
