The 1969 CB750k had an introductory price of $1495, but most dealers quickly raised the price to $1800 to $2000 which in today's dollars is about $11,600 to $12,200; also the Yen is much stronger now than in the 70s. However, the CB1100 is a much better bike than the original CB750k. I think the problem facing the CB1100 is there are other choices in its selling price range. I also think if Honda would improve the look of the side panels and air covers, the CB1100 would be a much more attractive bike. I just wish other manufacturers would make bikes that look normal instead of the megatron look and also with analog gauges instead LCD. I am looking forward to the 2017, hope they look good in person as they do in pictures.
