Yesterday we sold our last CB, a 2013 Std, for about $1,200 less than we paid for it almost two years ago. Even IF honda released a 2016 CB, do you really think we would order any? We sold five of them in two years...two to the same person. I am not a salesperson, but as a very enthusiastic owner of a CB I was never able to interest a customer in one.
I am content to be the happy owner of a very rare bike. In fact, I like it that way. I do believe our bikes will hold their value quite well because of their build quality, reliability, user friendliness, factory support and fun factor.
As a dealership, we've moved on. Now we're excited about the upcoming CRF1000L.

Didn't Honda rebate you $1500 or $2500 on that bike?
That's pretty standard fare for Hondas though isn't it? Did you sell 5 F6B's in the last 2 years? 5 CTX 1300's? 5 premium package Goldwings? ANY NM4's? 5 of any DCT trans bikes? 5 VFR 800s or 1200's?
Looks like you'd be down to a few cruisers, sport bikes and 4 wheelers on the floor.
