Price in California? - Al D_imp - 07-24-2014
Hi Everyone. Great site.
I saw the CB1100 and knew it was the bike for me. I will probably pull the trigger this weekend.
I believe I need to buy in California because of the smog control. I keep seeing 49 State legal.
I want to pay as little as possible (doesn't everyone?). The 2013's seem to be several thousand less that the 14 delux.
Since it doesn't look like I'll find a 14 dlx for 11K or less OTD, I'll probably go with a 13. The best I found is $7500, but that turns into $9600 OTD with 7.5% tax rate and a bunch of tacked on fees.
I have checked Cycle Trader and as many Craigs lists as I can find. I found a used one with 1K miles locally in Roseville, but it was laid down gently and has light scratches.
Anyone see any deals in California worth mentioning? Should I take the $9600 and run?
Thanks for reading this.

$7500 is good. Fees sound a little high, though, so maybe there's a some nego room there. California is its own market bcs of the emissions requirements. Buy it and enjoy it. These are very special bikes, imho. They're certainly very competent bikes.

I just got my CB1100 new a few months ago in California, and those numbers are extremely similar to what I paid. Yes the fees are high, but unfortunately those are California taxes for you. I think that it is unlikely you will get a much better deal on a new bike this season.
I agree with Rolls, but it an enjoy it!
