2018 model?

My guess is that someone here will know about it before the dealers do--none of the dealers that I've spoken to were aware of the 2018 euro model EX or anything about the RS. Perhaps they are kept in the dark on purpose: if there are leftover 2017s that Honda wants sold--and sold near MSRP--it might be smart to keep everyone guessing as long as possible about whether a 2018 will make it here. Who would pay sticker price for last year's model when an identical but newer-model-year example is slated to arrive soon? Announcing the impending arrival of the RS might create the same self-competition within potential CB buyers. But that's assuming Honda and its dealers act rationally. Here in frigid NE, we didn't see actual arrival of the new EX until November and December.
