Here are a couple of links to Cb1100s at a dealer in Grapevine, which is about a 30 to 45 minute drive from Dallas or FW, depending on time of day and traffic: https://www.dfwhonda.com/default.asp?pag...lInventory and https://www.dfwhonda.com/default.asp?pag...lInventory . Most all the Honda dealers EXCEPT Arlington ( it used to be D&S Kawasaki Honda, and is now Progressive Powersports ) are owned by the same family. Consequently the attitude between all those dealerships is similar and not my cup of tea. The two bikes linked are at one of those dealerships. In fact, I went there for another forum member to check out an overpriced 2014 Deluxe at the Grapevine shop that they would not budge on price.
There were not many CB1100s in the DFW area when I bought my 2017EX. The Arlington shop found one in the crate and ordered it in for me back then. More recently I bought my 2020 Blue Monkey from Arlington. and it too was right out of the crate. As has already been pointed out, if your bike is just the way you want it, in the long run maybe a better move to put up with some transport inconveniences, than trying to find a replacement after the move that you like. Any questions about the area, let me know and I will try to provide info.
Thanks, 2017EX and to all responders. My son lives in North Richland Hills. Good to know a fellow rider lives nearby. I think ya'll are right. Be better to put up with the small hassle of transporting than the major hassle of replacing it.
