Who is considering trading to a 2014?

Ultimately the market determines the price. Any fresh new motorcycle will get an initial burst of early buyers, who generally pay close to list and get on the wait list. But then, the market calls the price. Look at the VFR1200. A great bike, but at $15K and up, virtually no market in the US. You can still find 2010's in crates or on the floor for $10K, and lo mile used ones go for $8500. That's a heck of a lot of bike for the money, if you like the bike.

I don't think the CB1100 is priced too high for the quality and style it delivers. It's at the high end of the retro- standard competitive set, but actual transaction costs are pretty much in line. You can get a Bonnie or V7 for less, or a bunch more BHP for less in more modern, liquid cooled stuff like an FZ09. But, if the CB11 floats your boat, it's worth the dosh.

Bonneyvilles have a substantially smaller engine { 865 cc } which
is near 300 cc less.At $ 9,100.Their really not in the same class
as the CB 1100.Id' say one step below.Like comparing a
600 cc sportbike with a 900 cc one.I might not have even
considered the CB 1100 if it had a 750 cc engine.
Again,with me the engine is the most important thing.
Which is why I wonder what Burt Munro could have gotten
out of this powerplant.I mean Anthony Hopkins.
