This one is new I think. It is at a dealership in Southern Illinois.Last edited by marvinsc; 06-03-2014, 02:05 PM. -
They are not selling in Anchorage, according to the dealer. They have optional ABS, but that is like a grand, I think.sigpic Too old, too many bikes, too many cars, too many things

Great deal. Totally understressed engine that should be good for 150,000 miles with just routine maintenance.Ed
To measure is to know.

That's what they are selling for around here. Seems like there are a few dealers who still have a 2013 model on the showroom floor..... Nice-looking.$2,500 off MSRP: http://boston.craigslist.org/sob/mcd/5025401668.htmlComment

yeah they stopped selling then in Canada this year.
ones listed on the website are 2014
makes sense the market here si small enough let alone the far smaller niche these were supposed to find.
A bike everyone pines for nostalgically that no one relly wants.Comment

Part of the nostalgia was that it was a big, bad boy in it's original form. It's current incantation could never be that.1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red
2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.Comment

Really? Have you ridden an 83 CB1100F? Awesome bikes, I don't see ANYTHING on this new version that is FAR BETTER than the original, charging system maybe? The original is a cult classic, for very good reasons. If they had just given this new one about 50 more ponies, they probably would have sold them out! I just came back from a dealership in North Carolina, and they can't GIVE THEM AWAY! Don't even bother uncrating them anymore!

Agreed, underpowered and also just priced too high.
Too bad too, because if a Honda model does well other mfg.s often follow. And the opposite may also be true. As this model seems to be selling slowly it may deter others from attempting a similar model.Comment
