Who is considering trading to a 2014?
#41
I ride on the highway about 5 times a season and never for very long. I get it if you guys who do a lot of highway want to take a bath on trade in value and upgrade to the '14. I know which gear I am in, not that it really matters because you can do anything in any gear just about. The only gear you have to know you are in is first, and if you don't know that, I can't help you. I like the black engine, red tank, and the wheels are fine as they are. So I am sticking with what I have. The love affair I have with my bike is still in the honeymoon phase. It has everything I need.

I would have rather had an '14 just because of a newer year model. I don't care for spoke wheels personally due to the amount of time to clean and polish. That being said im not a fan of chrome at all. I really love the black engine and that was on my must have list. Ill be blacking most things out if i can. The only thing that appeals to me on the '14 is the 6 speed. No reason why, just because. I cant wait to see the next color though and compare it to the red. This red is by far the best looking color I have personally ,seen on a production bike.( Not to say there my not be better paint on others) Red would not have my first choice, but it sure looks awesome!

The first page of this thread was great!

The 2013 CB1100 is the perfect bike for me. From 10 mph on a steep dirt path to 80 mph cruising on the highway, this bike does it all and does it well.

If Honda brings the EX over I'd seriously consider buying one, especially if I could swap out wheels and some accessories.

Probably end up parting with $20K after all is said and done. But what a bike!

I need a set of spokes.
I think the new bike is so improved, except those ugly wheels, everyone should trade up ASAP Big Grin
To help with your loss I'll give up some cash on a rim swap. Beer

I'm not exactly sure what your game is. Everyone here comes from different life experiences and biking backgrounds be it the number of years we've ridden, types or sizes of bikes that we've ridden, where we've ridden, etc., etc.. None of that makes those experiences any more or less valid than yours, just different. But valid just the same.

I'm not here to cause a problem with my Motorcycle
opinion.So far this Forums seems pretty nice.
After I bought a 2006 M109 I went to a M109 Forum.
The Forum was started by a guy who ended up being about as
bad as a Nazi. I eventually figured out why he started his Forum.
So he could advertise his approach to Mods for the bike.Which included everything PLUS. He eventually was hawking how great
everything was he did to modify the M109.Which meant voiding the
warranty.He dint care one whit.It was all about him and how
every member needs to take his advice.Like some Woody Hayes
football coach. Or Billy Knight at Indiana.I liked both coaches
but it was Always Their way or the Highway.
The guy who ran that forum was also a Bully.No doubt about it.
He constantly joked about whenever I brought up my Rune.
He openly challenged me as to actually owning one.
He belittled me at every chance,insisting to other member,
that No Way did I own a Rune.Therefore whatever input I had
as to Mods was bunk.He also tracked the ISP of every member
and made sure everyone knew it.
I love talking motorcycles.I don't ride as much as 10 years ago
but I haven't lost my interest.
I am about as cheery a fellow as can be.However I don't like
being conned about motorcycle stuff I know to be false.
Motorcycle are like food.Every biker tends to have their likes
and dislikes.Not every Harley owner likes every model Harley.
Dig Daddio !
But thanks for the Corrective Criticism.

I like the CB1100 so much, that I would consider adding a 2014, and taking it in a different direction to the 2013. I did this with two Triumph Bonnevilles, buying a second one at a steal price from someone looking to move. I then kept the first one as a retro- standard, and modded the second to a more cafe- style. I tend to like what I like, and, based on financial realities, would not have a problem owning two CB1100's. But I don't believe I'd trade my Red 2013 in for the relatively modest changes on the EX.

I read a few CB1100 reviews that mention that this model isn't
cheap or inexpensive.As if it's kinda expensive.What to you think
about that.It's in roughly the same price range as a 12oo Sportster.
One could say that the 883 Sportster is inexpensive.
Maybe that's why Honda priced the CB 1100 at $ 9,999.
They dint dare want to break the $ 10,ooo threshold.
I'm rather indifferent about it.But if the bike was $ 12,ooo like
the M109 or VTX 1800 I never would have bought.
Because there is a limit I'll pay depending entirely on engine cc.
That is why to this day I never understood how Harley's could
ask $ 15,000 - $ 16,ooo for the sweet looking Duece model
going back to 2000.The engine was the same as a Dyna model.

I guess the price has yet to be decided for the '14 since its not official yet. The msrp on the '13 was at the upper end of my budget. But the feel of sitting on this bike felt so natural to me I had to have it. Not bad considering all things.
