I paid 6500 for my 2014 standard model with 940 miles on it in KC, MO from Triumph/BMW dealer who had it on trade-in from original owner. $100 transfer fees, so it was 6600 out the door. It was mostly stock except a luggage rack combination padded sissy bar of about 14 inches (removed), and it still has the Moto engine guard. In this area, it was difficult to find, because no Honda dealers had new or used in stock, and I was preparing to go to MI to a large dealer there who sells new a number of bikes that are several years old for discounted price. In this case, it would have been 7200 for the base model, 2014 CB 1100. I believe they buy left over model year assemblies from the manufacturers, assemble the bike in their shop, and title it, nothing else. So, no registration, transfer papers, just a title, and you can hope their technicians knew what they were doing in assembly. I'm not sure, but I think that is how it's done. Anyway, I think what I paid for this one used is within 5-8 Cs of what anyone should expect to pay, used or new. Obviously, the motorcyle is not popular in the US, but that is to be expected, because true to the mission of replicating and improving on the old K and F models, it is still a utilitarian work horse, not a beauty queen, or chic magnet, or freeway wheelie machine, nor american icon, and most people in US are not interested in a motorcycle that is just useful. What's the fun in that?
