Is there any way to find out stats on total sales?
I wonder how many 2013 CB1100s have been sold

As far as my salesman knows, the dealership here has sold three CB1100's and from looking at their "Happy Customers" photos I only have seen 2 CB1100's. Mine and someone who lives 35 miles away and I have yet to see him on the road anywhere...

The forum's registry provides some clues, but apparently overall sales figures are a closely guarded secret.CB4ME_imp said:
I'd be curious how many CB1100 owners have encountered another CB1100 rider. I haven't.
I've seen at least 5 others, maybe 6

I saw 2 in the parking lot at a bike dealer (non-Honda) in Dahlonega, Ga. last October... met one of our members there too... VFRPaul, who had some people admiring his good looking CB. As I was leaving, I rode past 3 more CB's who were pulling into the dealership. It seemed like a CB get together, but I was on my Harley so they pretty much ignored me... Here in Florida where I keep my CB, I've yet to see any others, either at the Honda dealer or on the road. And I believe another one of our members lives here too...Sanpete, although we've yet to cross paths. I guess they're more popular in the N. Georgia mountains.

When we get two or more Moto Guzzi's together its considered a rally.

I've only seen one other CB1100, he was at the dealer for service when I picked up mine.

I've only seen one other CB1100 and it was going the opposite direction on my way to work one afternoon. To this day I still look for him when taking that same route.
The dealer I bought mine from (in another state; about 30 miles from where I park mine) told me they have sold 5 others.
That's all well and good, but one would think that maybe one of those other owners would have found this forum by now. I just wonder.

No, on the road. I posted pictures of 2 of them in my ride report from my trip to Maggie Valley plus I saw one other one on that trip. I have seen at least 2 locally, and turned around and caught up to and met one of the riders. I have never seen another one in a showroom besides mine when I picked it up.

I'm quite active in an astronomy forum (cloudynights.com), the largest astronomy forum in the states with a large international presence (but a small forum compared to some knitting, woodworking, adventure bike forums) and yet most folks in the hobby are not members and a scary number are not even aware of us. Well, astronomy is not exactly a real social hobby either.
So folks have to be Internet savy to a certain degree to even consider joining a forum. It certainly helps if you have joined forums before and every time I turn around I bump into folks on forums and yet there is a huge segment out there that either refuses to join or are completely oblivious to them.
I am sure there are more than one graduate research papers that could be written on why folks join forums, why they don't and why they are not aware of them.
Can we make any educated guesses using serial numbers (assuming Honda won't share that info) on how many were built. Sounds like we'll have to treat each market differently and add the results.

As I have said on another thread, I did catch a brief glance of another CB "in the wild" - in a northern Victoria town while returning from the 2013 Phillip Island MotoGP. That's it. The rider of that CB recognised what I was riding by the friendly wave. I wonder if he is on this forum?LPRoad_imp said:
I am taking the "Last Blast" for a service next week and intend to enquire about sales in the Sydney area. The chances of a '14 model coming to Oz are probably somewhere between Buckley's and none, but no harm in asking.

Even though I haven't got mine yet, I ride my other bike a lot and I haven't seen one in my neck of the woods, I guarantee you I wouldn't have missed it......

According to Honda there are over 1200 dealers in the USA, what do we think each dealer sold? My dealer said 5-6 they sold, I say average might be 1.75 per dealer? That would be 2100, just a guess. Wasn't the highest serial number 1500 something on this forum?

This is a pretty clever way to back into a number. From what I saw, every Florida dealer got 1 ABS and 1 non-ABS. I think it's reasonable to assume they've sold at least 75% of them by now. So, let's see...1200*2, carry the three, multiply by the square of pi...soggybottom_imp said:
We can now say with complete authority that exactly 1,800 CB1100's have been sold in the US.

Math one on one! I have visited four honda dealerships and they all had one CB1100 in their showrooms. I have yet to see one in the wild. But if your calculations are correct, with this many CB owners we could sign a petition for the 2014 model. :excited:

So far I have learnt that there is one other in NZ up in the North Island, I have yet to see one in my area though I am sure there are more on the road in NZ. Last 4 digits on my VIN are 0096; I am assuming that must apply to the Australasia market only>LPRoad_imp said:

Then my next question would be: How many do they have to sell to make it worth keeping the bikes in their US lineup? I would hate to see the CB1100 go the way of the W650. It might actually factor into my plan on whether or not to purchase one. If they MIGHT be discontinued, I would kick myself for not getting one. Wish I could afford to buy every bike I want.
I have only seen one CB1100 on the streets. It was in my hometown of Evansville WI. I was in my work truck and tried to catch the rider but alas he alluded me. I am guessing it was my neighbor to the north of me, CA200, cuz it was two up with a huge plexifaring on it. I think CA200 and his wife ride a lot.
