What is considered a good sales number for a new model? 2000 units? 10,000? Depends?
The last 4 bikes I purchased before the CB1100 were left over models from the previous year with BIG discounts: a 2008 and 2009 Suzuki sports bike, a 2009 Kawasaki sports bike, and a 2010 Triumph Bonneville. Seems a whole lot of bike models don't sell out. Advantage Buyer!
I didn't expect a major discount for the new-to-the-US CB1100. I received quotes of $11,700 out the door (basically list price) and later $10,700 out the door, then I had 2 dealers going back and forth for the deal. I ended up paying $9724 OTD with a listed price for the bike of $8299 from an exclusive Honda dealership who claims he gets a big discount from Honda. The next day another dealer had a 75th anniversary sale and I ordered the rear carrier for 20% off!
I hope and pray the CB1100 does well and comes back year after year.
