I took delivery of my 14 Deluxe Friday. The employees I work with thought it was really good looking and were surprised it was a new bike. I don't think one of them would buy it though. My grandson who is a car and motorcycle nut (12 years old) loves it and thinks it is really beautiful especially with the chrome. It made me realize outside of Harley how few new bikes have chrome on them. I came from mostly a BMW RT past and Honda ST1300 so no chrome on those bikes to speak of. I think there will be a market for retro bikes and Honda especially couldn't figure a huge market for our bikes in the first place. You would think the Cafe motorcycle trend would bring interest to our style of bikes or the huge collector motorcycle market for 60's through 70's bikes. Maybe not. I got to say I love my bike but I am 58 and never got to buy a CB750 or CB500 when I was young. In a sense I am reliving my youth.
