Completely new to this forum (just signed up today). I am looking to buy a 2013 CB1100. I live in Chicago and have been scoping out this model for the past few weeks. There's a dealership about 60mi way from me that is selling the 2013 NON-ABS version for 7k. I was a little surprised at the price because everything in or near Chicago is more expensive than most places. The bike is brand new, never ridden. Is this something I should probably jump on? Thanks for any input, it'd be greatly appreciated as this would be my first brand new bike purchase.
Currently sitting on a 79 CB750-F. Amazing bike for it's age but the unreliability of it has made me set on getting a brand new bike as I've had too many problems with mine related to the carbs. It's posted on CL with a few bites. Should be able to sell it in a few weeks hopefully! I live in Chicago and don't own a car, however having a motorcycle in the city has many advantages when it's not so cold/snowy/wet. Plan on being 'that guy' that rides when most would stow their bike away for 5 months of the year that Chicago weather usually demands. 26 y/o but my Dad has always been insistent on the reliability of a Honda and he himself has a '95GL1500SE Goldwing with sidecar.
HI Specialist8. I am the resident shopaholic and just bought a used 13.
7K is the best price I have heard of on a new 13 with warranty ect... As classicvw said you have to watch BS fees ect after the fact. I had a knock down drag out with a dealer over this for 2 weeks before they finally caved in. I refused to give in one cent over principal and I was so pissed I had to get counseling and advice from the forum members here.

7K is and excellent price. The advice I got was to get the out the door price because that is all that matters. I dont know what Illinois state tax is but you can add that along with tags and title. Make them break it down for you then give it some thought.
