If I want to sell something, I always set the price that sells the item fast.
If want to buy something, I paid the price for which I will own it.
First, I bought my '14 CB, then I sold my '13 one within 2 weeks. Period.
If cannot afford something, I stopped dreaming about it.
I am done.

Well that is what we are talking about, a 2014 Deluxe. They usually sale for about $2000 more than a standard which is why it isn't overpriced.

I'm sorry but it is overpriced. I know you're kind of stuck with some mods but people just don't want to pay for them and unless you get very lucky in that it is exactly what one person is looking for you're kind of screwed. I hope you get what you're looking for though.

I also think that the bike is overpriced. I always assumed that used bike buyers look at most mods as a negative, I know I do. I certainly wouldn’t expect it to add any used value, as cool as they are. Never know though dude, right fella might come along. Follow your gut.

I generally think used-bike buyers tend to be drawn to a specific price point vs. a specific brand or model. They're generally more budget-conscious than new-bike buyers, because they usually have to pay in cash. "Let's see, what can I get for $4000-5000? Oh, that's a cool looking Honda, but the Yamaha I looked at yesterday is a newer bike, plus I prefer the blue vs. the red and it's $100 cheaper too."

100% agree with above sentiment...LongRanger_imp said:
Hey guys, I've deleted a couple of the "I'll buy your..." posts that were added to this thread the last couple of days.
Once again: we have a section for Want to Sell/Want to Buy/Want to Trade elsewhere on the forum. Discussing prices or advising others on what to expect when selling something is okay, but let's not stray past the rules. I've given enough people grief recently over posting stuff for sale in the General Discussion area, just being consistent here.
Thanks,
Guth

Well, they stopped importing the DLX three years ago. I'm not convinced they've achieved cult status yet. They may never achieve it. Or, they could become this decade's GB500 or W650: Only imported in limited numbers, not a great seller, but now relatively desirable due to styling and nostalgia.
My CB50R was only imported as a 2004 model and only 300 were brought to the U.S. Like the CB1100, it was a nod to Honda heritage and did not appeal to the mainstream market. Very few have heard of the bike, let alone seen one. If mine were for sale, I'd be fortunate to get half of what I paid for it. And it's stil brand new, never started, gassed up, or even sat on.

The thing is, the 2014 Deluxe is the ONLY CB1100 with an all silver crankcase.

Unfortunately yes,slightly over priced. I would look at a new Standard for less money regardless of the modifications to a very nice used bike that was a little more money.
I've seen DLX's listed on craigslist previously at prices that I thought seemed reasonable, yet they were re-listed time and again as no one was biting apparently. If your DLX has been sitting unsold for a quite a while then you already have your answer as to whether or not it is overpriced.
My take: Demand for the CB1100 overall is fairly low and the DLX is no different. I chalk this up to this being a fairly niche motorcycle overall. This forum can sometimes be misleading as we tend to be very enthusiastic about these machines. Many here think very highly of the DLX models in particular and therefore those members own one. My sense is that even though Honda released very few DLX models here in the States, the demand was pretty much met. Most of those who wanted one bought one when they were available new. Most of the others whose plan was to buy one on the used market have also managed to find one by now. I think that the DLX has more of an appeal to the older CB1100 fans and sadly that is a demographic that is in decline.
In addition, in most cases the best way to maximize your return on aftermarket parts is to sell them separately. They tend to add very little value to the motorcycle — generally just a small fraction of their original cost. Sadly they often tend to alienate as many buyers as they attract. Leaving them on the motorcycle is a bit of a double-whammy if you don't have the stock parts to include in the sale for the buyer to put back on the bike should they prefer to do so.

Well another Deluxe came on the market today -- for only $6500! Someone is going to get a great deal! It seems like I've seen this bike before -- does a forum member own it?

That seat color does not go with the bike at all.
