I know there is already a generic CB1100 comments thread, so bear with me as a new standard owner and member of a tiny minority 
.
It goes without saying that people love their 2013s and deluxes. The comments from friends, family and complete strangers are mostly favorable. Its classic color and accents make for an approachable and friendly-looking bike.
Now for those who own the current Darth Vader edition, I'm curious to know what comments you've been hearing...
A non-riding friend thought it was "beautiful", while a riding buddy described it as an "angry male gorilla", noting how it looked "beefy, like it had just finished weight lifting". We compared it to my resurrected 75 kawasaki z1, which he described as a "tired, sway-backed horse" to the cb's Clydesdale physique. I think the z1 is a beautiful bike, but the Cb does have a much more aggressive posture.
Any choice comments from the four other people in the US who bought standards in 2014?
