One in Franklin, one in Chattnooga, a 13 in Nashville (maybe should have snagged that). But I got one. So, really, should I care if they are discontinued? I'd care if I was waiting to buy one and they ran out and all I could buy was used. So, I suppose if you were saving up for one then you might go get one about right now before they get too rare in the Dealer showrooms. No?
So...if the 1100 was discontinued because we were the only ones that bought one then are we hurting for it? I don't think so, I think the accessories would dry up in a while but we can handle that by getting them now. Then our CBs do become rare cult items and we make a mint on them as long as we don't cafe them or some other thing like paint them a non-stock color, cause you know how badly that devalued the original 750s that were customized too much.
After thinking a bit more about this, our bikes don't have near the following of the original 750. Not because it does not deserve it but because it simply is not the case. So, I suppose thinking it will become a cult bike is a reach. But do I care? Not really, I plan on enjoying it, especially with many of you in North Carolina in May at the Tail of the Dragon. That's what my CB is all about, my "ironhorse" and she is a great one and that is all that matters.
