Just a curiosity...
For me, I preffer higher numbers: if there where some details to be "ironed" in the production line, the higher the number, the higher the chance of any issue being corrected. I wouldn't buy a new car, new model, as soon as it is available on the market: I'd be some kind of "betta tester". I'd rather get a model that is about to be replaced by a newer version.
But in the case of the CB, being a low production anyway, I wouldn't care for the VN. I assume quality control is excelent on this bike.
There is logic in what you say, but in practice, humans seem to put value in things that don't seem logical. There are numerous world examples.
In terms of the first generation Honda CB750 and the lowest serial numbers, they are heavily sought after.
