It all depends on if you want one now or want one quite a bit cheaper with a few miles on it later.
I disagree with those that say it won't be available or cheaper later on. They will be greatly reduced when they are discontinued,whenever that will be, I hope not for a long time, though.
My 2010 Honda NT was originally the same MSRP as the CBs- $10-11K. Dealers sold new '10s as new models for three years. Then they were discontinued in the U.S. market. Suddenly, you could buy them brand new for $6-7K from the same dealer. I bought mine from a dealer for $5400 with barely 1,000 miles on it, still under warranty for nine months.
My CB is a standard, not a DLX, but I bought a '13 this summer for 7K ( well, $7010) with 575 miles on it. And that was a price from a dealer. So there will be deals out there a year or two from now. Maybe not so many '13s or '14s brand new, but a few still new, and some very low mileage ones as people who just had to have "the look" of the bikes of their youth suddenly decided it's not the bike for them or get a new shiny model in their brains as their "gotta haves".
