CB1100 (and other motorcycle) specifications

[Banned_imp]

So I'm not trying to be quaint (I work all day in IT at a university) but I am always surprised at what a small world it can be and how technology can connect the dots even further.

I wasn't a big fan of the spencer blue (sorry) but went to look at the bike last fall. I have been pining for the CB1100. See the pic below. My wife told me to buy it before I left the house and I took the afternoon off work and rode down on my CB 750 thinking I would. But they weren't being flexible on the price and wanted $500+ for freight and PDI which they had dropped from the rest of the 2014s. It also had 100 km on it. I left less than impressed, my CB110 dreams in tatters.


Then the blacked checkerboard showed up at the bike show at a great price with $300 in dealer store credit and no freight costs. Love at first site. I bought it the next morning.

Things always seem to work out as they should. Glad you didn't buy the 2016, W/R.

Cormanus, yes my VIN frame stamp ends in 057 also. Cable in the way.

Do you mean like fate? I'm glad (for the both of us) that I didn't buy the 2016 too. I think my 2014 and I were meant to be together - as stated my vin ends in #031, I retired in Sep 2015 from 25 years as an Infantry soldier in the Canadian Armed Forces, the Military Occupation Code (MOC) for Infantry is 031. Coincidence?

Are you in the Moncton area? We should meet up, I'll bet a picture of a '14 Spencer Blue and '16 Black Checkerboard together in the wild would be a pretty rare sight.
