I decided to stick with the original CB1100 DLX that I found at Fay Myers in Colorado -- a stunning and immaculate machine that has just over 1,000 miles on it. Still a beautiful find and one I will be thrilled to finally receive. Hoping the shipping company will pick it up from the dealer tomorrow and get it to me in 10-14 days. It's already paid in full and registered in my name and has the temporary plate on it.
When I spoke with the owner of the bike in Ohio, the one with under 600 miles on it, (About 450 I believe) we just really hit it off and he even offered to deliver the bike from Ohio to NJ for me. So I spent a few days considering trying to sell the bike in Colorado I have not even seen yet, and going with the one in Ohio. It turns out that I spoke with 2 interested parties, but it didn't work out with either. I HIGHLY recommend the bike in Ohio on Craigslist to anyone looking for a DLX. In addition to the photos posted on CL, I saw a 6 minute video and about 30 additional photos, and the bike is pure mint condition.
The link is https://columbus.craigslist.org/mcy/5679652376.html
He is asking $9,800 but will consider closer to $9,000 if it is a friend of mine, so interested parties please PM me and I will be of support in any way I can.

Bighonda, you will be thrilled with the Fay Myers bike, plus you absolutely stole it.

Congrats Bighonda14! I can't imagine how excited you must be looking forward to the delivery of such a great Honda motorcycle. You are the envy of all of us here, especially those of us that feel so enamored by the rarity and extra prestige of the CB1100 Deluxe model. It is an absolutely BEAUTIFUL machine! ENJOY!!!

Many thanks LR and Dsinned!! Especially grateful to you LongRanger for checking it out for me and sending the great photos. I look at them daily!
Stay tuned for photos -- possibly of the bike being loaded into the truck, and definitely 2,000 or so miles later when it gets unloaded on my driveway . . .

Hello, I am JCHONDA; the owner of the bike in this discussion and it is still available. The only reason I am selling the bike is my wife wants me to get a trike so she will feel much safer when we ride. This bike is all that BIGHONDA says it is. It is in pristine condition and I would be willing to deliver it within a day's trip from my home. Here is the video link I sent to BIGHONDA. Microsoft OneDriveBighonda14_imp said:
G'day and welcome to the forum JCHONDA. Just so you know, I've deleted your second post as it said the same as the first.

Nice video. Beautiful bike. Just out of curiosity, what are you asking for it? (and I wish you lived closer . . . )

I have it listed on Craigslist for $9200.00 NADA says retail should be around $8600.00, but the top box is a $735.00 option. I may consider an offer for a real CB1100 lover!dsinned_imp said:

I'm trying to convince my wife I need a 2014 DLX, but I just bought a 2013 a few weeks ago. I live near Granville.JCHONDA_imp said:

Two CB1100 is a hard sell to anybody's wife, but if I may ask, WHY did you want a 2013 (CB1100 I presume)? Either way, your wife will have the same complaint about riding together; even more so without a top box.

Do I have to be on the forum for so long or make so manyposts before I can place an ad in the classifieds???

Yes, can't remember the exact number, but it used to be, like, 2 weeks and 25 posts.

Thanks Bighonda14...
Sorry for the confusion, dsinned, but I was the one who bought a 2013. I wanted a 2014 for the 6th gear and gear indicator, but the cheapest one I could find within 100 miles was $8600 + tax for a new one. There were no used 2014's for sale in Central Ohio this spring. I don't ride on the freeway much, so I decided a used 2013 would be good enough. And it has been so far.dsinned_imp said:
JCH, see this post with the rules for the classifieds, CB1100 Forum. I have a vague recollection that Guth (the Boss) may have changed on of those requirements but I can't place it.JCHONDA_imp said:
As popgun says, go for it welcoming people and hang around then you'll be in.
Meanwhile, good luck with the sale.
