Nice work! But you know what this means... Time to start planning another SS1000 so you can bond with your new bike!

He should have kept the other one for Mrs MTC. She was in the market for a new bike as I recall.

Oh man, this is one of my favorite threads in a long time.
So cool to see your brand new 2013 CB1100 — time warp. Sure, Honda has changed a number of things here and there, but for me, they've never been able to improve upon the look of the original design. Stunningly beautiful. Well done MTC!

Pretty interesting...I bet this may have been the last unregistered 2013 CB on the planet. Maybe...
My dealer picked it up at an auction; I think it was a liquidation of a dealer that when out of biz, but I'm going to ask him about the acquisition. I believe that i was not out of the original crate until it arrived at my dealer, but, again, I'm going to try to get some information about its history. I'm also going to get a pic of it with the odo reading 0, which is where it is at. The trip odo reads .4 miles. It's a pretty rare find to be sure.

I will keep monitoring the tire thread. Glad to know that you're happy with the Avons

We will see. I think a 'break-in' ride to Colorado would be perfect. Wife may have other plans, though.

I think I'm leaving the RLETs on the original bike; my gift to the next guy. I'll have to order some new ones post-haste.

She does not enjoy riding the CB. She likes me, though, so I'll forgive her this one flaw.

Thanks!
I don't have it yet. My last ride on my CB will be tomorrow, weather permitting. Tuesday, it goes back to the barn and I'll have my new, old bike by next weekend.

This opportunity allows me to have the bike I originally wanted, but could not afford -- CB1100 with ABS. It also allows me to keep my word, in a way, that I might sometime add a bike, but that I'd always keep my 2013 CB1100.  in a way, I said. LOL
