I can check it out for you and help with shipping or anything else.
Thanks, 4Paws, that's a very generous offer. Unfortunately shipping would be around $600-700, and that'd start to put it in range of some of the used bikes out here.
On another note - I know the 2013 vs 2014 debate has been hashed out repeatedly, but who here would buy a $7k 2013 vs an $8k 2014? I don't ride on the freeway frequently, but I do it occasionally... the 2014 dials look better to me but not sure how much I'd pay for it.

Hard question, eats leafs shoots. Part of me would want the 2014 just because it's newer, has 6 gears which I'd like. And I like the dials a bit better too. Another part of me would want the 2013 because I prefer the colour and I'd be happy to save a thousand bucks. I've ridden my 2011 with only 5 gears for a reasonable distance now and it's just fine.
The upshot of all that is I'd be happy with either of them. If money's an issue or you want some cash to spend on modifications, get the 2013.

If you can get a 2014 for 6999.00 I would just do it. It's a lot of bike for 7k. I was more than happy paying 8200.00 almost two years ago.

I don't know if my experience with my recent order and purchase (November 2016) of my new CB1100 std would be if any assistance with your decision. When I was shopping for the CB1100 in my local area, I found a 2013 CB1100 for $6,295 with 4,295 miles on the odo. This was at a Kawasaki Dealer and the salesperson did not seem too interested in talking to me. I went to the Honda dealer and they had no CB1100's on the floor. They offered to order me one for near the MSRP minus an $1,000 Honda Bucks discount promotion. They did not charge destination or assembly costs. Like a child in a candy store, I bit. After reading other forum member's purchase experiences, I realized I paid (much) more than others. Some other forum members found great deals for their CBs, with almost no miles on the odo. I assume I would of had more negotiation opportunities if I bought an on the floor-leftover CB.
This my first brand new Motorcycle, all my others Honda's were purchased used. My CB1100 will probably be my last motorcycle purchase. (Just ask my wife!)
As Cormanus said above, I guess you have to decide new, or used with money left for farkles.
Feel free to PM me if you would like any further information about my CB1100 buying experience.

If you locate an out-of-state bike that you like, you can have it shipped door-to-door for $450 using
http://www.haulbikes.com. I've used them four times. Very easy and highly recommended!
