How did you discover the CB?

I first saw something about the CB1100 coming to America in CycleWorld magazine in early 2012, I believe. The first time I saw one in person was in July 2012 at the Laguna Seca race track in Monteray, Ca. Honda had it on display, up on a raised stand, and I couldn't help going back multiple times to stare at it. I told my wife "all that bike needs to be perfect is spoke wheels, 4 into 4 exhaust, and to paint that silver side cover red". I told her I wanted to buy one, but the first thing I would do after buying it would be to repaint the side covers. I began looking a year later, and when I discovered the 2014 model was even better looking than the 2013 model I knew I had to have one. I put a down-payment on a Dlx model a few months before they were available and waited.
