Thread is cracking me up..
It will more than likely be more than the last deluxe.. So, IMHO it's price at least new is going to deter anyone/everyone who isn't looking for a retro standard..
Let's face it, the cb1100 is a cult/niche bike.
One can say its worth the price, but there is a lot one can buy for the same price.. That said, as I'm here, I own one. Also, as a previous owner of several cult bikes, who has regretted parting with em. I plan on keeping this one indefinitely. Whether or not it's cooler is subjective. So maybe it doesn't have the cf (cool factor) of some others, but the fact that it's a Honda and has a reputation or reliability was worth it to me...
Will I get trade in my 13 for a 17.. No. I've done a bunch of customization to get mine where I want it. That said, I have more than one bike. It's not out of the realm of possibilities I'll add another. That way I could go a bit more extreme on the 13.
All in all. I'm glad Honda is keeping it in the line up
