Thread is cracking me up..
It will more than likely be more than the last deluxe.. So, IMHO it's price at least new is going to deter anyone/everyone who isn't looking for a retro standard..
Let's face it, the cb1100 is a cult/niche bike.
One can say its worth the price, but there is a lot one can buy for the same price.. That said, as I'm here, I own one. Also, as a previous owner of several cult bikes, who has regretted parting with em. I plan on keeping this one indefinitely. Whether or not it's cooler is subjective. So maybe it doesn't have the cf (cool factor) of some others, but the fact that it's a Honda and has a reputation or reliability was worth it to me...
Will I get trade in my 13 for a 17.. No. I've done a bunch of customization to get mine where I want it. That said, I have more than one bike. It's not out of the realm of possibilities I'll add another. That way I could go a bit more extreme on the 13.
All in all. I'm glad Honda is keeping it in the line up

Yeah, I'm with you on that. I was a Kawasaki kid, my first road bike being a 500 triple, first enduro a 125. I owned a sweet ZRX1200 and sold it, and regret it. I'd be all over a new Kaw retro sport number.

1100 and two 1200's here. I think the ZRX was the best all around bike I ever owned.

So, the target demographic for the CB is all old, cheap guys? !
Another thought.. How many of us here bought our CBs used? I always buy a bike that's 1 or maybe 2 years from new. That way, I still get what I want and get it for 30% off MSRP. A lot better than paying 11 or 12 grand. That is, if you can wait a bit.

I bought my DLX used, but only because I couldn't locate a new one. I would have preferred to buy new, and would have gladly paid up for one, just so I could avoid yanking off the aftermarket stuff. Plus, I miss not having warning decals on my tank.

My general MO as well, you can't beat a well- loved, three year old lo- mileage bike. But I traded the haunted Griso in, and got a good deal on both ends, so it worked out. Buying a new leftover CB now is just like buying a used one, they're so cheap!

Yes, you can order them on-line or at your dealer.
