new 2014 standard price?

[sabashahid_imp]

I'm in the market for a new bike: considering...

2014 CB1100 standard $8000 + 500 for "freight/setup"
2014 MGuzzi V7 Stone (employee said $6400, but I think he goofed, will check tomorrow)
2016 Triumph Street Twin (not available till spring, prolly $8900)

What do you think of the CB1100 price for the Standard?

Thanks.

Its to much

At Cycle Shack North in Conroe, Texas (fastest growing city in USA), they have 2014 Black STD CB1100's for $6300, or about $7200 out the door. Call Keith at (936) 756-9711. I think he has 3 or 4 left. I bought a used 2014 Deluxe because I had to have ABS. It reminds me greatly of my CBR1100XX I had in 2002. I put 300 miles on it this afternoon and am very impressed with the smoothness. Has anyone ever seen or heard of a heel-toe shifter for a CB1100? I would appreciate any help I could get on a heel-toe shifter.

Howdy and welcome to the forum Troy.

Welcome Troy!

Haven't seen ANY heel-toe shifters for the CB1100. None listed on Samurider or Webike that I could find either.

G'day and welcome to the forum, Troy.

For the West Coast, I think it's a good price. I paid much more than that in March 2014. Then again, it is winter. I would have to try to get heated grips, crash bars, and luggage rack included. Of course, I tried that and failed on my own purchase, but then I completely blew my deal.

I'm an old pro at not paying a penny more than I should for an automobile, but somehow the young motorcycle salesman's tactics threw me off my game. The CB750 purchase before that, with a fellow old guy, went exactly according to plan.

Note: Research the $1000 Bonus Bucks. I'm not finding it right now, but fellow inmates will know if it's still available or not.

From the dealership's own web page, I see that the $1000 "bonus bucks" is offered for the '14 Standard. I was assuming that this is why they have the $7995 price tag on it: they sell it to customer for 8K, they get a 1000 credit from Honda and it really comes out to 9k for them. But if that 1k is at play, maybe they would listen to an offer of 7750 no freight charge...a lot more palatable for me.

I'm just over 6'3". Any tall riders out there that care to comment on the ergonomics with this bike?

I was told I looked to big for the bike! I now have a 2014 cb1100 standard and the same people are telling me I look like I fit this bike... Hope that helps! And I have to say if you like the bike and it makes you smile that's all that matters...
