I follow the Motorcycle shows every year where prototypes are shown, and have since the 1970's. The CB actually started showing up as a prototype at the Tokyo show in 1999. Different iterations kept showing up at the shows until the 2009 Tokyo show where it started looking like a production model which was then released in 2010 to Japan and Australia. In 2012 when rumors started surfacing that it may be coming to the states in 2013, I went to my dealer and told him they were coming and that I wanted the first one. He said they weren't coming. Then late in 2012, November if I recall, he called me and said I was right it was coming and that I got the first one he got. I took delivery in March or April 2013.
