I'm a soon-to-be CB1100 owner (although how soon is up for debate). After a year+ of debating between a Triumph Bonneville and the CB1100, I made my decision and finally convinced my wife the DLX was worth the extra money because of the ABS and other features (not to mention I like the red a bit more than the black).
Imagine my horror when I learn the DLX models are all but gone! I've called just about every listing on cycletrader with no luck. So now I am left with a tough decision: buy a 2014 standard model or cross my fingers and hope that someone decides to sell their 2014 DLX in the next year.
I ride mostly interstate to and from work, so the 2013 is out of the question due to the lack of a 6th gear. Is the DLX destined to be a collectors' prized bike that will be impossible to come by? Should I move on and get the standard? Thanks for any thoughts or advice!
