Red Mist...It's still 150 pounds lighter than my ST 1300 which weighs over 700 pounds. 550 pounds is actually about average for a big bore UJM.... Comparable to most all the big inline 4s from the 70 s and 80 s. Most of the weight on the new CB will be the exhaust so low cog weight, and of course 8 pounds of it is the ABS.

I was in the motorcycle industry for 17 years (1972-1990) many of them with Honda, and I started riding Honda motorcycles in 1968. Owned a bunch.. 160, 305, 350/2, 350/4, 450, several 750s, 1100v4, 1100 I-4, 1300 and I have owned 9 Honda four wheeled vehicles. I was in over the road sales for the last 23 1/2 years, (1990-2013) approx 50,000 miles per year, all the miles since 1991 in Hondas usually putting between 200 and 300 thousand miles on them before getting another. I currently have a Ridgeline, an Accord and a Civic in the driveway. No Honda has ever failed to bring me home..so far ( knock on wood).

I trust this new 14 Deluxe will be every bit as smooth, reliable, refined and sophisticated as every other Honda vehicle I have owned.

I'd hate to tell you how much of a bath I took on the one Chevy truck I bought new in 2003. Z 71 4x4, crew cab, std bed, with ABS and tow package....what a piece of junk. I could throw away the 14 Deluxe and still not lose as much money.


Gheil, no.... I got $ 2500 trade out of my Majesty and wrote a check for $1600.

Thanks Guth.

Ole'...I've been told I can't take it with me. Hope they are right lol

Wow... You did really good! I need to have a stronger conversation with my dealer... based on what you're saying, he's not even in the ballpark and my CB doesn't even have 1500 miles on it.
