I'm looking to trade my bmw s1000r for a 2014 cb1100. It's a brand new left over unit. I do have some questions though...
What's your thoughts on buying a unit that is 4 years old? Would I run into reliability issues? Seems like a long time for a valve spring to be compressed as well... idk just something I was thinking about.
Also I've read about how reliable these bikes are but one thing I see pop up as an issue is corrosion and rust on the painted motor and tank. Are these just a few people or is this a problem across the board? I want to ride this bike a lot and not worry about the paint falling off every time I ride
