Price You Paid for Your CB

[Mike546_imp]

Two months ago I picked up a used 2014 STD with 2,000 miles for $6150 from a dealer in NY. The bike is in like new condition. I'm still looking for a DLX.

I bought my standard 2014 black for $7,900. The dealer just wanted to move it. The CB1100 is NOT catching on in my area. I'm in mid-Missouri, about 100 mile from KC. All the red necks around here want Harleys.

After my trade-in and down payment I bought my '14 CB1100 for $4000 new from the dealership in Tucson.

8200.00 for a 2014 standard. My dealer has one left for 7700.00 now one year after buying mine.

Hey Mike, think i ran into you before. What part of N.Y. Have you ever been down to captree on Long Island?

I am picking up a 13 with 900 miles on it this week ( if it warms up ). I am getting it for 6,000 out the door from a local Honda shop. The guy traded it in on a used Harley of all things lol. Oh well his loss is my gain whohoo!

 

[uscgmac_imp]

And what's wrong with that. To each their own. I've had 5 Harleys and they are good bikes. I had an XR1200 that would destroy the CB1100 in performance and handling

My 14 standard was just over $10k out the door including tax, license, all that stuff a few weeks ago here at Huntington Beach Honda. Sticker price was $8400.

Yes, I wanted to go even faster so I traded it in and bought a 2013 Z1000. Had that for a year and a half then saw a steal on my CB 1100 and fell in love with the retro roadster look. The XR was a great bike. Sometimes I can be spontaneous when I see another bike I like and want to try out. Don't be a hater.

No that wasn't me, I haven't had a chance to ride mine more than 100 miles.

No offence meant, just thought it was funny somebody traded a bike with 900 miles for one with 20,000 miles on it.

Hater? Goodness no. I could care less about Harley's. Never owned one, and likely never will.

That sounds like a person that does care very much one way or the other. Anyway I personally dont pass judgement on any bike. Every brand of bike serves a purpose for someone. Harleys may have had thier ups and downs at some point but the later models are very good. I was talking to a gentleman who has put 180k miles on an ultra glide with original motor. I know you could care less. Im just saying. Im not the only one on the forum which has or does own one.

Harley stock is taking a beating. Their debt to revenue ratio is above 300 percent whereas the other bike manufacturers are down in the low hundreds. Their labor costs are high in the U.S.A but the quality is considered poor by owners according to MSN Money today so they are again (like the 60s and 70s) facing manufacturers who can market higher quality bikes at lower costs and they are making more interesting bikes as time goes by, again according to MSN Money.

I notice however that their resale value is much higher expressed as a percent of purchase price than my 14 CB1100 and that for even a regular run of the mill Dyna or Wide Glide.

That is a big plus. Then there is the aura or feeling that goes with riding a Harley. To the past owners of Harleys, does that feeling wear off and if not then why did you go for a Honda this time over a Harley? I think the answer to that question will explain why Harley is facing troubles down the road just as they did with the Japanese invasion in the late sixties but this time they also face a great looking Triumph line and great bikes from the Italians, bikes readily available in most middle to large size American towns that perhaps handle better and perhaps hold together better at a cheaper price.

Not that I am typical for an American buyer, but while I do look at the Harley site from time to time I also look at the Moto Guzzi and Aprilia and certainly the Japanese websites more often to see what I might jump into in a few years for a long distance touring bike.

Having said all that. Setting an Ultra Glide on cruise all the way to Sturgis is on my bucket list.

I believe the issue with Harley is two-fold: demographics and Polaris. For the most part, their customer base is getting older. Harley hasn't done as good a job as others to attract younger riders to the brand -- there's certainly nothing wrong with the bikes. Also, Victory and Indian are competing well and taking market share.

 

[Elipten_imp]

Well the reality is young people for the most part just don't have money for expensive toys like motorcycles. And an HD is expensive. Plus there are no shortage of old lower mileage bike to buy cheap and ride including our CB1100. The one thing that attracts me to cruisers is the low seat, as I am inseam challenged.

I was just wondering, if anyone doesn't mind, if you'd like to share how much you paid for your CB, and if you know how well they've sold in your area. When they first arrived here in the Kansas City area back around April they were listed at $9999 for the standard model. (I don't know of any dealer ever having an ABS model). Some were purchased before they even got out of the crate. Now the dealers all seem to have at least one on the floor. The dealer I got mine from had it marked down to $8995 but by they time they added freight, dealer prep, and doc fees it came to $9660. Makes me wonder if they added all that to try and get as close to $9999 as they could for it. I don't remember new bikes I bought in the past having anything added on except the doc fee. I always thought the freight and prep was already included in the price, unlike with buying a car. I pulled out the papers on my 2007 Kawasaki KLR 650 and it was only $4770 plus $100 doc fee. List was $5199. I bought my '98 Valkyrie new from the same dealer I bought my CB from and it listed at $12,799 but I got it for $12,399 plus a $75 doc fee. Did I get screwed or are freight and prep separate fees these days?
