Now I remember the reason that I chose the CB1100...I couldn't decide between the two, went back and forth, had my list of + for each. Then I thought "better buy the CB now" because the '14 was the last year the bike was sold in the U.S. I thought I wouldn't get a chance at a new one...maybe even its resale value down the line would stay high as a result (Ha-h-ha!). I didn't know that there were bunches of the '14 standard "out there" in warehouses.
I bought the '14 on Jan 2 of '16. My reasoning was that if I didn't like it, I could sell and buy the V7. Half a year later they decide to import the CB1100 '17s. Oh well, now I'm wrong on two accounts--resale value are not good, and '17s are available, and....nada! All that doesn't matter because the bike is fine and I'll keep it--it looks great, runs great, fun for short rides and I know I can make it work for long trips. Besides, my friend lets me take around town trips on the V7 whenever I want as a favor for helping out with learning Spanish : )
