NEW 2014: CB 1100, CB 1100 EX

[davidsargee_imp]

I was one of those looking in the $7-8k range. I was determined to spend less than 10k. My CB is my first bike in about 9 years and I did not want to drop a huge chunk of money on a "hobby".

After looking around, I realized that there just is not much out there for less than $10k, nothing that really appeals to me, anyway.

The Harley 1200 Sportster was a consideration, but I think they are overpriced at $11k plus, and the CB is superior in every way,(imho).

I considered the Yamaha FZ-09 at $7995, and was attracted to the performance, but it looks like a motocross bike with a funny headlight.

I soon realized that the CB1100 at $9995 is a lot of bang for the buck, and I decided to spend the extra. You will not, in my opinion, get more bike for the money than the CB.

I am very, very glad I did.
