I just went to cycletrader and dealers have 168 new 2014 STDs for sale and of course 0 Deluxes. Prices are as low as $5968 (with, of course, the various fees to be added).

OTOH, a lightly used Deluxe, if you can find one nearby is about $8500.

Would it be a crazy idea to buy a STD and have it repainted, if the ABS is of no concern to you?

The DLX invokes passion from a bygone era. Everything about it screams vintage. Just look at how much more retro the side covers look. The all black looks like it is trying too hard to be modern. Honda messed up by making way too many. I am sure someone has an example but I am not aware of any 70's bike that was factory blacked out. $6000 OTD though is crazy tempting.
