Here you go, I think your links picked up some punctuation marks at the very end.
I think they did an update for their earlier essays about how the bike was designed, etc.:

They did put a lot of effort into designing in "the feel" and stuff which I think is it's heritage, but I'm still wondering .......

Was at my dealer in Massachusetts yesterday. Sales guy said the 2015 CB is back. Not in dealers yet but "it will be back in the USA for 2015". - The CTX series does not look to have done well. The NC700 has also not been the hit it is in Europe. I rode both and thought them great bikes for newer riders and people who do not have my bad back. - Anyhoo it's good to hear the CB is coming back for '15. Most of us are 45-65 years old and there will be plenty more where that came from! I'd like to see crotch rocket guys start a new CB cafe racer trend!

Do you think the dealer has this right? They aren't always in on the scoop, at least around here.

Frankly, I'm hoping he's got it wrong...resale values are bad enough as it is, and I might have to let go of mine come spring.

I would be surprised to see the CB released in 2015 as there are still dealerships with 13 models. Just saw a 14 deluxe the other day at another dealership. Do not think it will be discontinued in US yet, but would not be surprised to see them skip a year.

Hot off the press from another dealer. No USA CB1100 in 2015 as of today!

Resale isn't good on most modern, still in production bikes. Buy it and ride it off the lot, you just lost 30%.

I'm just whining 'cuz I thought I was being smart as the guy who let somebody else take the big first-owner depreciation hit. What I didn't count on was the value tanking another 25% in the first year after I bought used (although, to be fair, the recent $5,800 eBay sale I'm basing that on probably isn't really reflective of the market).
Yeah, I know...you shouldn't get into cars/bikes if you're worried about resale...etc. At least I didn't borrow the money.

Cars, motorcycles, boats, houses and etc are not investments! They are lifestyle decisions. Get what you can afford and don't look back.
