Trade a '13 for a '14 EX? How much will it cost?

SanPete...I'm not done looking or
talking. But if I was to do anything with the
Honda, it would be for another CB. I really like the architecture
of this bike... I just want a better one.

I hear you. $6k is a bit of a stretch for me. I may have to wait longer if I can't sell privately.

Sanpete... I hear you. Either way you go , the 13 is stil a great ride.
On another note, the dealer called back with new numbers but I haven't
connected with them yet. And... the wife is ok with the trade... so
who knows.

That sir is one heck of a good wife!

For some reason, Harleys have always held a pretty good resale price.....metrics have not.

It is odd. But long ago I did the math and the reality is that the price of entry largely on hd bikes is a bit higher. So when you trade you lose less but on the math paid more to get in so its a net zero comparo most of the time. Unless of course you get sucked I to a bunch of hd add ons. This is where the math lends itself more away from hd.

In general w all of this said I think when people constantly expound the value held by HDs they are just helping spread a bunch of hoooooeeeyy. I could never live with myself personally if I purchased one. But. Ya never know. Wait. I do know. Never. Lol

I just bought mine w 200 miles on it for 7k. So for me a grand mire or less and I would rather by another CB and turn it into a naked cafe/street fighter. Just to have one that was completely different and have an artistic expression.

Just look at the threads around this place a few weeks back. Collectively as a group, we still didn't know what might, or might not be headed our way this year as far as the CB1100 was concerned.

Also, it's one thing to be dissatisfied with a product, but to want a different product even more doesn't necessarily mean that a person isn't happy with what they bought. We all have different preferences. For many, the 2013 model was the best thing going back when it was released. Now for some, the 2014 Deluxe model will supplant the 2013 offering as the bike that comes the closest to their ideal. That doesn't strike me as being all that difficult to understand. I hope that everyone out there who is pining for a 2014 model is able to find a way to make it happen. Especially if that means selling or trading in a 2013 model. The more CB1100s out there being ridden, the better.

Agreed
Awesome reply.
You are dead right

Btw
look for a Ducati Sport Classic. You might like it. Or from the sounds of your research which is similar to mine you have likely considered it already

I hate to weigh in here...but since I started this thread...I feel the need.
Who in here is complaining? And what are they complaining about? I bought an '03 Sportster back in '03... because I wanted it. Then once I had it, I realized I wanted a rubber mounted, fuel injected Superglide so I traded for it the next year. Was that complaining? No. I realized it wasn't what I wanted and took the hit in the trade. I still have that Superglide today... and will only trade it when I'm ready to buy a Road King or some other more suitable Harley touring mount. My '09 KLR has a carburetor... I hate that! But am I complaining? No. However, if they came out with a fuel injected KLR, I'd consider trading for it. My life is full of things I bought then changed my mind on... a Corvette from a Mustang. A 19 foot ski boat from a 25 foot cruiser. Did I do my research? You bet. But once the item was mine, the hunt was over and the ownership began. We could talk houses, beachfront condo's, suv's, luxury cars.. but as Hillary said... 'What difference does it make? '. I really enjoy my 2013 CB1100... however I think I would enjoy a 2014 CB1100 EX even more. And I bet that I'm not alone. I did my research... I went to Daytona and talked to AMERICAN HONDA REPS. I went to the Progressive / Cycle World show in Atlanta. I've cruised the net.... I joined this forum... before I bought. NO WHERE was there any inclination that an updated version would be introduced for 2014. Not back in June when I bought the '13 and not as recently as this Fall. Not for here... not for anywhere. If that's a problem... then it's MY problem... because at the end of the day, it's MY money. And besides I like what Guth stated... that'll put another CB1100 out there... And that's GOOD for all of us. Ride safe my friend.

Ages ago I was in a poker game with Soichiro himself. After a bit too much sake, he confided in me the master plan for the CB1100. This was before he would come back as a spirit and influence the guy who would eventually go on to take credit for the CB1100 concept. I really shouldn't say anything more, but the 2017 version of this bike is really going to blow people away. To this day, I still could do without any more sake.

Guth...why are you admitting to this? You're going to jeopardize the whole thing!

Sorta. But the more standard version is my preference. They made it w spoke wheels and a kind of greenish grey color. It screamed retro in a very cool way. The red screams ducati which is normally killer but on this bike I think it take away from the retro look. Odd how a color can do that.

Who knows? If the boss is happy, it's a wrap! Congratulations!

For me, its not a single upgrade that tears at my heart, its the upgrades in their entirety. The 4 into 2 pipes with actual double wall chromed head pipes, the instrumentation with the gear indicator, the differently patterened seat, then add in the 1" higher bars, the 6 speed trans, the larger capacity fuel tank.

Believe me I researched this bike for 3 years, and ordered it before my dealer even knew it was available. Most of us that desired the bike figured this might be a one shot deal and like Rboe said a one year model. It was discussed at length here.

Believe me had i know or had an inkling that there would be an upgraded model only 1 year later, I'd have waited. Then I would have had a choice, the original sporty model or the upgraded model.

I feel your pain! I waited for the possibility of a black model but since the new black model is too black, I'm going to paint a DLX anyway. But, now I'm REALLY glade I waited. Black or not, the new Deluxe is well worth the wait. I can imagine how discouraging it must be to have such a beautiful carrot dangling in front of you after already buying an almost perfect bike that you really like. If I were in your position, the upgrades would be just enough to push me over the top and force me to take the hit and trade into the new model. I can certainly see why you ordered one. It would be interesting to know how many people feel the same way and see how many low mileage 2013's will be for sale!

[ride4now_imp]

Buffalohead... I'm sure there's going to be a lot of low mileage '13 CB's available...and probably at pretty good prices too. For me the changes are certainly enough to justify paying the extra coin to move up. The problem is, if one wants to call it that, it's still hard to buy something sight unseen. With all due respect to Ferret, I think I'm going to wait until I see one 'in the flesh'... before I make the commitment. It interesting... when you see the '14 in the photos by itself, the juices really start to flow...again. But when you see the '13 and the '14 side by side (or top vs. bottom like in one of the threads...) the '13 looks sportier... while the '14 looks almost frumpy by comparison. But... the upgrades as previously listed, once seen live, will certainly seal the deal. Daytona can't get here fast enough...

[the Ferret]

Ghiel.. I agree the 13 is a lot sportier, and the 14 dlx is a lot frumpier. I happen to like frumpier I guess. I like the symmetry of the dual exhaust ( my wife agrees it looks like somethings missing with a 4 into 1) I like the "waterfall"" chrome head pipes, over the "dirty snakes" swoopy stainless. I like the color matched side covers, I like the chrome bar ends, I like the polished master cylinder caps... Then there is that whole laundry list of other upgrades

I bought my 13 sight unseen and have no fear of buying a 14 DLX sight unseen.

Everything you mentioned... frump aside... is what I like too. I've never liked the look of the '13's headers... both the color and the look of the waterfall. The same thing with the side covers...never liked them either. And I also don't like the look of the bike on the side without the exhaust... something is missing! And the look of the bike from the back.. same thing. But as you, me, and others have previously said... we bought the bike that was available. And it's a GREAT bike... it's just the new one will be even BETTER... frump aside of course!
