St. Paddy's day disaster - RLS_imp - 03-18-2018
A lady got out of her car and forgot to put it in park. It rolled about a 100 yards crossing main street and then down GE Patterson until it ran over my bike and my friends bike. We were able to pull his out from under, buy mine was crushed.
Not sure if this can be repaired, or if I can even find a new one that is just like the 2014. I bought it new last August and only had 2,700 miles on it.
If I can't get a replacement, any other bikes folks would recommend.

Wow, what horrible luck! I hope everything works out for you.

Well that stinks. Now that, is some stupid bad luck. I mean what are the chances? Sorry that it happened, but there are some 14 left overs out there. If something happened to mine I don't know what I would replace it with. It's a pretty special bike to me.

There is no end of stupid people doing stupid things in this world.
Terrible bad luck.

Ouch! That's a painful pic to start the day. No St. Paddy green on that bike! Knoxville appears to have a '14 leftover. If you have any add-ons, remove them before insurance gets involved in case you can use them on a new CB.

That’s a sad St. Paddies Day! I know how you feel, I crashed my first 14 CB1100. I ordered a replacement when it was declared totaled by my insurance company. Believe me, with just scratches, bent handle bars, broken instrument cluster, it does not take much to total one of our bikes. There is a thread http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=10615 where I shared my experiences dealing with my insurance company, Honda Finance, gap insurance, etc. if it would apply to you.
I also agree that 2014 Standards are still available. The Honda Motorsports web site are still listing the Standard. Best of luck.

Sorry to hear of you bad luck! I was rear ended by a woman in a mini van, while I was stopped at a Stop Light, in broad daylight last fall. Between her insurance company and a VERY slow dealer, it took 6 weeks start to finish to get my bike back. Here is a link to Cycle Trader listings for a bunch of 2014s, including a low mileage 2014 Deluxe in Lexington Kentucky. Maybe it is close enough to you?

Darn! That's bad luck! I'm feeling with you.
Wish you all the best.

Yikes! Talk about the Luck of the Irish.....
We've got a handful of new 2014s at dealers here in WA. I looked at a couple before buying a used one with only 4K on it. They were all asking $7000, but with fees came to about $7,8000. https://www.i-90motorsports.com/default.asp?page=xNewInventoryDetail&id=3755699&p=1&make=honda&s=Year&d=D&model=cb1100&fr=xNewInventory
My VTX got run over in a parking lot in Bend, OR a couple years ago. it was a weekend, and they didn't have a Honda dealer so my wife and I had to limp home on a badly bruised bike. It was more than $3K in repairs for all the dented and scratched parts.
Good Luck!

Thanks for everyone's condolences on the loss of my bike. I have been thinking of buying a 2014 Valkyrie, but that was only as a second bike to the CB. Hopefully a CB will be available.
