2014 CB1100 availability

[mike1161_imp]

I see black 2014 CB1100's available at local Honda dealers and on Ebay, but no red Deluxe models. 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.

Eonzhiglo, Those are some seriously awesome photos! They really are amazing!!! But I kind of feel the same way as you (really like how the silver engine & wheels "pop", and love the dual exhaust & red color), but the all black STD model is really growing on me. I looked at one at a local dealer the other day, and it really is pretty sharp. I've never really cared for the totally blacked out look, but at least the STD does have quite a bit of gloss black, which looks great. I just don't like too much matte black. But come to think of it, one of my all-time favorite bikes is pretty black too (my 96 Trident 900).

So who knows - I may end up in the "black" CB1100 camp after all I've been drawn to the CB1100 for quite a while now, just never really pulled the trigger. One of these days....
