He asked what year it was and when I told him it was brand new, a 2014, his wife immediately exclaimed "he told me that was a vintage!" She proceeded to take a picture of the CB! Had a guy in a car at a stop light tell me that "he owned a bike just like that once"; you should have seen the look on his face when I told him it was a 2014 model!
I think all these similar replies prove that Honda got it right since the CB fools so many people.
I love the retro look and I've had a lot of similar experiences with my Bonneville.
The first time I even heard of a CB1100 was a picture in a bike magazine. I was immediatly lusting for one, but they weren't available in Canada yet - not until 2013.
As I mentioned elsewhere, I missed getting one last year, but with the six-speed, standard ABS and the improved digital display, I'm rather glad I had to wait a year.

I too fell in love at first sight.
I however got C-ABS luckily on my 2013.
How is the new dash better? I love mine. Really clear day or night.
