How's the CB1100 selling?

[GS1000G Shopper]

I was glad to see H***a making/selling them, like another said here the thought was it may lead to another brand making something similar. I see a lot of retro Mustangs, Camaros, Challengers, and recently read about soon to come Chevelles. I'd hope that a retro UJM would stand a chance, but apparently totally different markets. I would not buy a new chain drive model. I would have bought a shaft drive GSX1400 (natural progression from my GSX1100G). I see they were big in Europe.

My last chain drive bike was a mid 70's CB550. I traded it for a brand new GS1000G in 1981.

BTW, the Harley jokes here made my day.

Wasn't there a non-US Suzuki retro that was made to compete with the new CB a year or two ago? Anyone remember this? I swear I read about it but now I can't find anything on the interwebs about it.

The GS 1400 was made 2001-08, so you're a few years off.

Honda made a CB 1300 retro bike in that time period, again, not a US model. It's way cooler that the CB 1100. Not as retro, massive torque

I don't know how to put things like this on the computer, but, In the Atlanta Craigslist, put on there july 11, there is a new Honda CB1100 Delux for $ 4100. Could that be right???

I'd say probably a scam.

The contact info says "Find me at 2014Honda.CB@gmx.com for more info!"

Definitely a scam in my experience. Either fishing for email/contact info or wanting to send you a bogus cashier's check or other type of scam.

Same bike in Birmingham AL:

I had a chance to ask the sales manager at the local Honda shop that question the other night at an event

He said he sold 3 when they came out and that they've been tricking out ever since

He won't order more than 1 at a time

I wonder what they are like to ride in real world ways. Not ultimate hp shootouts, but smooth fueling, roll-ons, clean tracking on the road ...

Probably like a boring old UJM that you can buy all day long for a thousand bucks.

Dealer here still has an early 2014 black one he can't move. They have sold 2 since they came out. He won't order any more. Honda screwed themselves on this bike, it could have been a real ground shaker if they had put a bit more thought into it. I think it's sick HP rating is its down fall.

Amen brother, been saying this all along. If they can't make a bike 30 years later that's AT LEAST as powerful as the original, somebody's missed the boat. Big time.

Well, I know it's an old thread, but obviously they aren't selling for SQUAT! You can pick up a brand new one now for almost half price!!!!

I saw a young guy with his gal on a CB1100 a couple of Sundays back. Nice bike.

Lots of other bikes heavily discounted as well, I think this is common to have 3 year models hanging around especially in the shorter riding season states. I wonder how they handle the losses, Honda must help them out somehow.

[rphillips]

The only selling point, I see or hear about, is the "retro look", are there other noteworthy perks that I'm missing??
