Well, there might be a few of you here who remember my eternal struggle to find peace with my CB1100. It was and is such a lovely bike, but I have never been able to be completely satisfied with it. Comfort has been my main complaint. Despite all that I didn't like about it, I just couldn't bring myself to let it go. It almost happened 2 years ago when I was going to sell it to a customer of the motorcycle dealer where I work. He ended up hesitating with his purchase and it was enough to make me change my mind.
Here we are today and I just finished swapping all the stock components back on the bike and it will be ready for one last ride to work where I am trading it in. Long story short, sold my Grom for decent money and since I am a shop employee, I get the pro-deal on any of the Japanese brands. So, with some manufacturer rebate assistance on a leftover non-current, I am going to be twisting the throttle on something new.
Since it isn't a done deal as far as exchanging money and my title, I am going to wait until everything is finalized to post in "Other Bikes" about what I bought. Let that be a surprise and feel free to guess what it might be. I plan on still hanging around since this has been the best forum I am ever been a part of. Truly, there has been so little bickering and unpleasantness. Wish other places were like this. Stay tuned...
