I personally don't like the all black engine and I do like the 4 into 2 pipes better. Anybody have any idea why there are only black bikes available? I hesitate buying a new black bike and spending a bunch to make it look more like the red bike. I have tried looking for a used Deluxe and haven't had any luck locally.
At this point, you probably will be waiting a long time for a DLX. I too thought that waiting for the DLX is what I wanted. Larger gas tank, ABS, etc etc. But if I had waited, I'd not be driving my 2014 std cb1100. Trust me, it may not be a DLX, but holy hell is it the best bike i've ever ridden. It's seriously worth it.
I too didn't really enjoy the kind of blacked out stance of the STD, but once I took some pictures of it with my good camera and lenses and not some camera phone, this bike is really very understated and beautiful. I've posted these up before but here ya go. Don't miss out on this bike by waiting unless you are 100% dead set on the DLX.
