It is with some sadness that I let the forum know that I am relocating to Uruguay and will have to sell my 2014 deluxe. I expected to keep this bike until I rode off into the sunset. It’s that good, but government regulations don’t always allow for such delights.
The story:
Uruguay has restrictions on importing a used vehicle, including motorcycles, even for residents. There are temporary ways around this, such as leaving the country and slipping over to Argentina every ninety days, but there is a cap on how many times that can be done. After six, it becomes illegal. Besides, it will be the only CB1100 in Uruguay. Honda doesn’t sell them there. Being bright red, it is also a flashy machine, and one doesn’t do flash in that area of the world. I will be buying another moto, of course, probably a Versys 1000, but not a CB1100. It will still stand out because most motos are under 200cc but being black, not as much.
Have no fear, I’m not leaving the forum. I’ll lurk but from way down under.
