Finally saw a 2016 today.

In the local dealer buying a lawn mower, and they had one of these -- up on a pedastle in a place of prominence where it belongs... Honda seem to have gotten a little more reasonable on the price too.

Man, I just can't get my head around those tacked on checkerboards. At $13k, even CDN, that's a stretch. Maybe if they threw in one of those lawn mowers in the deal!

I was at the Honda dealer yesterday. Myself and two friends I ride with looked hard at the non auto trans Afrika Twin. Price was right at $13k... out the door if I remember right. Honda won't move a lot of CBs (just as before) if the US retail is WELL over $10k. At that price point a lot of bikes are vying for mine, and others attention.

Forgot to mention: Dealer told my friend they have money down on 4 Auto trans A. Twins right now and prob won't see one until Sept for delivery.

Their lawn mowers are sweet. 190cc, electric start, alternator, hydraulic drive and de-clutching blade... the thing almost out specs a Grom...

The 13k is a stretch, but prices here are never straight exchange conversion. We're pretty used to paying way more than our for things in Canada than you would in the USA.

I am just glad they are still making it.

So this bike is available in US?

I don't think so no. They're still trying to clear out their existing inventory.

Just not a big enough seller in the States I guess.

Since we're talking Honda lawnmowers, I have a Honda snowblower and it's awesome. 160cc 4-stroke, about 6.5 hp if I recall, automatic compression release on start-up -- it's never failed me. As long as the snow isn't more than about 10" deep, it'll chuck it about 20-30', easily into my neighbor's yard.

I think $13K Canadian sounds quite reasonable. That's just under $10K U.S dollars. About what my '13 model listed for when it hit the showrooms. As I recall, the '13 and '14 Canadian models had a substantially higher MSRP.

That first photo of the 2016 CB brought back memories of when I first saw what ended up becoming my 2014 CB. I had the sales lady snap a photo and send it to me. I ended up buying soon thereafter.



Lately, I've been considering changing the chrome fenders to black. I go back and forth with the idea. I'd go with a shorter rear fender if I did. Either way, what a beautiful machine we have.

If you're like me, if it had black fenders you'd be considering the chrome ones.

I think you and I have much in common.

It's nice, but not quite ready to throw rocks at my 2014 just yet

 

[CBryder_imp]

I wonder if that exhaust would just "slip" onto my 13?

I don't like black, but that black dlx is a keeper! Price doesn't seem to have changed from my 2014 dlx though. Thanks for pic.

So far I think the red CB is the best looking one. But I have a weak spot for the red white and blue schemes they come up with and that might make me "upgrade". In the mean time I'll just wait for future "experiments" by Honda. This one is nice. But not so nice as to make me put my money down - assuming Honda brought it to the US.

I think the only way for Honda to bring it back to the States is if I bought a bike after waiting too long for Honda to move.
