I got the equivalent of $7,100 USD for my 2018 EX with just shy of 20K kilometres on it. It is a tough market here in Ireland for 2nd hand bikes and the interest level was tiny. Having said that chrome laden bikes are a little shied away from as we have such a wet climate, they are a lot of work if you want to ride them regularly.

No plan to do so, I was just thinking about it, and I thought I'd probably accept U.S. 6,000 although I'd want 7,000, and your 10,000 Canadian is about $7,100 U.S. ... so pretty close.
.........
So I'll ride the CB1100 to see which one of us lasts longer--the CB, or me. If it's me...I'll go back to the lighter, smaller W. If the CB outlasts me...that will no longer be a concern of mine.
So bottom line question: if your interested seller offers the 10k...is that a done deal? Will be interesting to see what he thinks of your bike at your price.
I have only one CB, the other one, white 2014 std with 134 k kms was sold last April within few minutes , and I've never heard anything since = very sure it has been a bulletproof bike!
I might let him take a look at it, but definietely don't want to play sales games.

There’s one in my area on FB with 174k miles right now for a very reasonable price.

Wow 174k miles is seriously impressive.
Mines getting close to 80,000 I think, and I can't imagine trying to sell it with that many miles on it, without basically giving it away
It doesn't matter what I ride, how far or how fast, only that I ride .... every day

Don't we have a US member with this impressive or even greater mileage without any issues or/and valve adjustment??

That was my bike with 174,000 miles on it. I never did a valve adjustment on it. It always ran great. Never had a problem. The guy selling it is actually trying to double his money.

If you ever hear how he gets on, Matt, could you let us know?
