Yamaha's awesome new Retro!

That is like comparing apples to spinach. Not even a close comparison. The Royal Enfield to the Yamaha would be a fair comparison.
My visitors bike is the 2013 CB1100!

Great analogy. Makes me want to juice some!

Now if your visitors bike is the 2013, that's just being a little fancy!

When can I visit?

^^^ This.

Would be a great second bike for visitors or runabout town bike.

I was discussing this bike with a local Yamaha dealer and commented that still £5299 it represented terrible value compared to yamaha's own MT-07, let alone the many other great bikes out there.

I summed it up as "you just don't get a lot of motorcycle for your money, not at all".

Expecting him to disagree and defend it on some 'heritage waffle' I was surprised when he agreed, and said that was exactly what they'd told their Yamaha rep..

"It needs to be about a grand cheaper before it'll sell in any numbers"

And it does.

I would consider one if they were £4000 new, as it is I'll pass, and see if anyone gets bored of theirs in a few years and wants £3000 for it with minimal mileage.

How much is it in the Land of the Free?

$5,990. About the same as your 4k GBP.

At that money, it's the right money, after haggling a discount or several hundred spondoonies.
