2014 model year now CAN be ordered

[road dog_imp]

Just got back from the local dealer where I stopped by for some oil. Long time sales manager said he can NOW place an order for a 2014 CB1100. They generally can place future orders 6 months out and he noticed the CB1100 returning. He and I both speculated it wouldn't return so we were both pleasantly surprised.

Couldn't tell me anything about different colors, but you holdouts may want to go bug your local dealers soon!

Wet blanket here...

I continue to be just a little surprised we got a beautiful red Honda for 2013. Black and silver are about as boring as can be. Everyone and their crazy aunt seem to have a black or silver (especially silver) vehicle. Look around next time you're out on the road, although that could just be a west-coast phenomonon. Silver and black are extremely popular and popular sells so that's my prediction for 2014. I think some shade of yellow would be sporty looking, but not particularly retro. Jeez, where's my spell checker...

People have their own opinions about what colors look good and what colors they consider boring. It’s of MY opinion the CB1100 looks better in most any color other than red (and the non-matching silver side panels). All silver would be MY first choice (see pic below). Silver has been my go to color on vehicles for many years. And it’s not just me either, it seems like everyone and their crazy aunt wants a silver vehicle.

Anyway, I held out last year because I just don’t care for red. My money, my choice... plain and simple. I'm likely to get off the pot and buy a 2014 model regardless of color. If I have to buy a red CB11 and re-paint the tank, so be it. But I’m sure hoping I won't have to go to the added expense just to get some color other than red.

My point being: The red (and silver) model is nice, but it's NOT making ME want to go out and buy a new CB11 today. If white, blue, or even black is offered in 2014, that may change. If silver is an option next year... that definitely will change.
