FWIW, I happen to be a somewhat longtime forum member here who is not yet a CB1100 owner. I have been in contact with rbike and one or two others. I have also been scouring Cycle trader for quite a long time.
Here is what I am finding:
- The bikes offered by members of this forum seem to be priced on the higher side, BUT also seem to be in much better condition than what you typically find on C.T. or Craig's List. Fewer wacky mods, no drag bars or loud pipes or weird paint jobs. Closer to stock which is what I want. The $5500-$6000 CBs I'm finding on C.T. are nothing like what I'm looking for. They seem to be owned by people who don't really appreciate the bike for it's innate characteristics.
I, personally, am not looking for the least-cost route. You get what you pay for. I am willing to pay a fair price for a really nice bike in really great condition because, for me, it's an investment.
