[/size][/font]I had 3 CB750's that I rode from '72 through '80. I sold them off decades ago.
After recently moving I experienced the huge urge to ride again. I looked around for a bike that would make me happy. I nearly settled on a current Honda that ultimately I wouldn't have been unhappy with.
Thanks to a Honda dealership sales man who was completely inattentive and lacking I was left with the time to really check out the model I was ready to buy. Even without riding it I determined that this model was not what I would be happy with.
While still waiting on the sales jerk to get to me I made a discovery. In the very back corner of this showroom I found a new lone 2014 CB1100. I tried it on and it was like being back on my old 750, I loved it!
The jerk sales idiot quoted me a price that was out of the park for a bike that was (although new) two years old. His price was $500 more than the old original MSRP! I told him where the f... he could go!
I was hooked on the CB1100. It took me three weeks but I found a lone CB at a little dealership in north Phoenix, and it had a discounted price. On faith I rented a uhaul cycle trailer and drove the 400 mi. to get that CB.
Well I got it and I've been loving it ever since!
