Hello everyone,
I live in Japan; after going through 2 triumphs (T120 and street scrambler), I decided that the retro I was looking for is more Honda CB.
I have the possibility to buy a 2016 CB11EX ABS Special edition: this one has a beautiful gun metal color, registration paper show 2017; it is a second hand bike but has only 762 km, is in pristine condition; only 250 are in circulation. the guarantee still runs for another 2 years and 7 months. so it is practically new. (pic attached).
In addition, the dealer,wants to move the 2017 model in red, and offers the bike with a price difference of the equivalent of 1,000 USD. TBH I am not a fan of the red of the tank of the EX; the RS's tank is nicer, but I dig the EX more; I know that the 2018 RS will have a grey color, but could not find any annoucement for the EX.
Finally, one is more unique, and if sold, chances of finding a practically like new one are very slim. the 2017 in red, will be cheaper next year anyway once the 2018 model hit the dealers...
to my question: what would you do if you were in my shoes?
thanks guys.
