What I can expect - cbdtran_imp - 04-03-2015
I am thinking of selling by 2013 bike with 10K miles on it and all original tires. No accident, looks new
What I can expect to have a quick sale? I live in San Diego

Needing new tires and a possible valve inspection ,my guess would be low $6000-6500 at best. Unfortunatley, Honda just officially lowered the price of new leftover 2013's to $7500. They are also offering $1000 Honda Bonus Bucks with each bike until the end of the month and some of the big volume delaers can also lower the price another $500 to $1000 more. It's a great time to buy a new CB as I find it hard to imagine getting this much bike, style, reliability and function for less than $8000 anywhere else!
Are you getting someting new to replace the CB?

probably $6000 is realistic. I will stop riding for sometime and undecide if I ride again, if I do, I might stick with lighter bike that if I lean the bike 20 degree my legs will hold.
RE: What I can expect - ClassicVW_imp - 04-03-2015
I have to ask about the 20 degree lean being tough on your legs. Am I understanding correctly? If you're walking or man handling the bike, there should be almost no lean involved. Even a smaller, lighter bike is a handful once you let it lean over.

One of the reasons I am going from an 800lb Harley to a 550lb CB1100 is the weight. I start out fresh and strong, but after a long ride I don't trust my feet and legs the way I used to....especially 2up. I have a buddy that has been riding a Goldwing for years and hes fine riding but has dropped it a couple of times at stop lights, not easy to get back up either. He has downsized to a Val....

You can get hydraulic outrigger wheels for a Golding. They deploy when you come to a stop. I think they're called landing gear. Many refer to them as training wheels! But who are they fooling? Just trike it already!

There's a guy here in Phoenix that makes these. He has no legs and rides sport bikes.

Not sure I'd agree.
A trike has entirely-different handling than a two-wheel machine. You don't lean; you CLING - as with a snowmobile or four-wheeler. You're high up there and there's a high center of gravity.
Deploying training wheels seems a bit Rube-Goldberg-ish, but if Honda is gonna put airbags on the GW...why not props, too? Thing's over 1000 pounds...may as well go all the way.
Although when I get like that, and of course I will unless I check out early...I think it'll be time for me to find something else to do.
RE: What I can expect - ClassicVW_imp - 04-04-2015
I'm aware of the difference between a trike and outriggers. I was just saying if its too much of a effort to hold up a 1000lb + motorcycle, then just get a trike fer cryin out loud. It would be a lot safer for the rider and his passenger.
