Been thinking about it for a while.
Went to the local dealer who is pretty tough to deal with, so went to a Honda store in Marshall, TX that I have dealt with before.
For example, I bought a 300 2 wheel drive ATV from them in 1986. Today, choke it, touch the starter, and it springs to life. Runs like a charm despite hard use. Only thing ever done -- change oil, filters, batteries, rear end oil, etc/tires of course. Carb never rebuilt. The thing can not be destroyed - one of the reason Honda stopped building them according to the dealer.
Bottom line - did not have a CB1100 DLX, red. Did not want a 2013, but they had one in the crate in the warehouse. We found it and cut the covering off it - like it, but wanted the 2014.
They said they were in the mid 8's on the 2013, I'm considering it.
They said they would look around for a red 2014 Deluxe (they have 2 other stores), wanted $10,800. Told them I had seen them at $10,300 (on this board) - they replied, bet we can get there, let's get you one.
So. I'm on hold. Almost $2 K difference on 13 v 14. I want the 14 but money talks. Opinions on this appreciated.
