I almost bought this bike last week, so let me provide some info. I saw it on CL Thursday evening, sent an email asking what the OTD price would be for a VA resident (4% sales tax on vehicles), and was told $7179.63 - which is incredible! I was corresponding with the Sales Manager, he said it was new (not a demo), out of the crate, they had just purchased it from Honda at auction in Norfolk and taken delivery at the dealership. He said to call in the morning and put down a deposit to hold it, he was receiving lots of calls about it (obviously, at that price). Friday morning, I was trying to decide between the CB and a used '14 Iron 883 that was at a car dealer for a really good price. I finally decided on the CB and called him around 12:30, but someone had just put a deposit on it 45 minutes earlier - arrrrgh!
But basically, this was a one-off deal. There was only one bike (even though they showed it on their Rockville and Crofton websites), bought from Honda at auction, and they are a "Powerhouse" dealer, so they probably have more room to deal, like mentioned earlier. And it was gone in 1 day. I guess what I'm saying is, don't everyone get all excited thinking that any new '13 you find is going to be priced like this one particular bike. Still, there are deals out there...... just have to look.
