1. Why someone decides to sell with only a few hundred miles on the odo.
2. All the discussion about wanting one and looking for one, but no excitement when one pops up. The Vermont bike (fully farkled) that that eventually sold after a price reduction to $8500 is another similar mystery case.
I'm not one who prefers the DLX styling. I like the STD tank and 4-into-1.
I'll tell you what's more rare than a DLX still in the crate...a decently-priced CB1100 in the Pacific Northwest!
Lol easy
1. The bike is an impulse buy... Happens, a lot when a manufacturer builds something inspires folks.. The cb1100 looks like the 750 of old. So many folks who either had, or wanted, or read about em, have the chance to go and get one now, so they do.. However, upon purchase it doesn't fit their needs, they prefer sportier bikes, need a two up bike, insurance is too high, etc...
2. See point 1.. They may really want one, but they actually may think about it, and decide it might not fit their lifestyle, but still really want one....
Keep in mind while the cb1100 has styling queues to the older cb750, it isn't the same revolutionary kinda bike that will redefine the industry. I won't argue it's way more refined and an almost too perfect modern reproduction. However, after one is done admiring it, if you ride one, or read a review,while fun to ride, it's not revolutionary.. Don't get me wrong, it's fun and puts a grin on my face, but it's not as if I have conquered anything. I love it for its reliability and being able to throw a leg over it and go on a moments notice. However, I can see where not everyone would be willing to buy or get a bike for let's say more utilitarian purposes, than pure exitement, or do so and it isn't enough.
