Who is considering trading to a 2014?

Sure I think the seat is a bit hard even after 13,000 miles, but then again I am putting a but of weight down on it soooo.....

Even with that said I would have no issue riding this thing anywhere. I have complete confidence in the machine to take me anywhere and get me back home.

Because yer used to small bikes is what.Live with a VTX 1800
with a Honda { big as barn windshield } or a Valkyrie Tourer
and you'll change yer mind in a nanosecond.Plus a Rune is
about the most stable motorcycle ever manufactured.
So I know exactly what I'm talkin' about.The CB 1100 is not
an Interstate or touring bike.neither is a Rune,only because it
was manufactured as a solo bike with little ability to add
accessories to store stuff.Or even a suitable windshield.Outside
of that limitation the Rune is the most stable and solid straight line
bike I ever owned.

Could care less about 6th gear, and actually prefer the smaller tank. I am going to sell the 2013 I just purchased ( haven't even ridden yet ). and wait for a 2014. Anybody know anyone who wants a screaming deal on a brand new zero mile 2013, call 407-617-3417 or gregdavis3@aol.com 8750 buys bike.

But the 2013's don't have spoke wheels.
Plus how did you take delievery of a new model w/o the
dealer assembling the bike and then adding fluids and
handing the keys over.Dealers aren't allowed to just sell
bikes out of the crate.That's a warranty issue.The dealer has
to take the bike out of the crate,assemble it,add fluids and
check to make sure it operates as per Honda/dealer agreement.
Otherwise the Warranty is null & void.
What on earth are you talking about man.You aren't authorized
to sell a bike that's never been started and have a Warranty in
place.

Maybe he has made his deal with the dealer, paid for the bike, but not taken delivery yet. I have done that several times. Bought a bike in the dead of winter when dealers are hungry, but leave them their in the crate until the weather breaks sometime in March. I would have done that with my CB but the weather just happened to be good enough in late March when the bike arrived at the dealership, so I just went ahead and took delivery.

But a customer does not have the luxury to take delievery of a
bike that's never been started.Or for a quick test ride.
Because what would happen if dealers started that practice.
All it would take is one or two examples of a bike that wasn't
started and tested by a dealer to make sure everything is Ok.
Who's to say that bike gets abused and set up wrong and
develops problems and word gets out that a brand new Honda
is a lemon.Honda isn't about to take that chance.A Dealer
knows better anyway.They have a responsibility to honor their
license and protect the duty of a Dealer.In fact,a dealer can't
by law sell a bike and hand it over w/o first making sure the
buyer has motorcycle insurance.That's the problem I had.
I attemped to buy the CB on a Saturday,knowing full well they
were going to reguire getting in contac with my insurance agent.
But my Insurance agent decided a couple years ago to close up
on the weekend.Meaning they're not open on Saturday.
And most motorcyel dealers in my region aren't open on
Mondays.So I had to wait until Tuesday.
