Your the expert. How many 1100s have you bought in the last 6 months for a investment? I'd bet NONE? Am I right?

I'm not self proclaimed at all it's a fact.

I've collected many things and I still have most of it. So no need to talk to me about collecting things. That's why I said if you keep things long enough it will be worth more.

Look Internetwebz tough guy, I am trying to be nice and PC here as I am new to this forum, and I didn't "start it" what ever "it" is. WTF are you babbling about.

I simply stated that classic and vintage Japanese bikes will increse in value over time and used classic American cars as an example. Thus began your dick knotting.

You're the one that got butt-hurt because I covered a different aspect of collecting things and had an opinion that differed from yours. Grow up son.

BTW, I own 2 1100F's one is a full on OMT and Honda RSC bike that I used to race and the other a nearly pristine Red one I picked up from a fellow 1100F.net member this past week.

What is it with kids on motorcycle forums these days ?? Rolling Eyes

How many 1100s have you bought for a investment? My guess is ONE? Laughing

Not so sure they will be going up in value? Laughing

Your the one that has hijacked my thread on posting how many 1100s have been parted out.

If you want to start a thread on why 1100s aren't bringing as much money these days or how much they will be in 50 years start one!!!

LOL Welcome? He's been here since 2005. I guess he could be a one man crusade to save the 1100Fs. I wish him luck. I think it's a shame we are loosing so many bikes to the wrench. And yes he is right, way down the road 1100s will be worth more money. But how far? Time will only tell.

I have to say at least for the near future, the days of vintage sport bikes escalation in value is over. 10 - 15 years from now,, who knows,

Personal experience - short of concourse quality - the 11F's are about $1200 and even at that price Ill not buy another one, not even for $1000.

I tried for at least 2 months to sell this one,, the last ditch effort offer to several members for $1350,,with a full set of new turn signals included, that i would installed for a new owner, NO takers, for an easy 8 - 10 scale 17K mile bike which needed the rear caliper rebuilt. -

AND NO - I wasn't going to put another dime in to it, let alone $40 for a caliper kit ,, would have been MORE wasted time and money.

This bike is no longer anything more than a statistic on tatoo's how many get parted in 2010

You know it doesn't make any sense but many 750 and 900 F Bikes are bringing more money than a 1100F. Go figure?

Thanks and Yes, and virtually every track in the US save for Laguna Seca and Sears Point.

I started in 1978 on a CB400F and stopped in 1994-5 w/ a GSXR-1k.

Fun times and glad I did it when I did.

I met a guy when I was stationed at Ft. Bragg that raced these bikes, just wondering if your that guy. Was in about 1985 or 1986.

on the rarity of 1100Fs and their desirability, i have wanted one for a long time. i have a 900 i have made up to look like an 1100...so bad is my desire. but i am not going to spend several grand on one when i can [and just did] buy a superior bike for much less. there is in fact a guy here that is selling his 1100F on craiglist for what i think [considering the "market"] is an extraordinarily high price [ http://missoula.craigslist.org/mcy/1758840625.html ].
there was a time a few years back when i wanted to get one that was offered near me on ebay, but was outbid by a known scrapper who had to travel a much longer distant than i did to retrieve it. i tried reasoning with the guy, explaining that i would probably be buying parts from him to "restore" the bike, but when he offered to resell the bike to me [before he had even seen it] at a much greater price than he paid for it [and more than it was worth in it's condition] i had to pass. point is, as much as something has a certain level of desirability, that level also has to approach some practical value as well.
in using old muscle cars as an example, there is a very productive aftermarket for parts for most of these. you can literally build a 55 chevy or a 65 mustang from brand new parts. there are more red, convertible mustangs on the road today than Ford ever built! chances are, if the value of a Honda CB1100F ever gets to the point that it becomes worth it, there will be a market for new parts for them, as well. just like there is for the MUCH MORE common SOHC 750, or [hack, choke, cough] the ol' Harley.

Ya know, It never ceases to amaze me when people list bikes (or anything for that matter) for sale on Craig's List or FleaBay and can't take the time to add a picture or two (and a clear, nice one at that) and then write a description with poor grammar, no punctuation and can't be bothered hitting the "spellcheck" button, then can't figure out why people won't call or buy their item, and don't take them at all, seriously.

Granted, IM Speak or Text Message style works in their given venue, but believe it or not, those of us over the age of say, 28, have a hard time taking people seriously that write like they're texting their High School girlfriend.

Another thing, when you're tring to sell something, clean it up, fix what's broken, (turn signals hanging off of CBXDOG's bike, come to mind) and present it in a positive light and maybe less of these classic old bikes will end up in salvage yards.

Just sayin'....

Totally agree with your first point, but ease up on Cbxdog, OK? He did put good turn signals on it (I sold them to him), and said so when he posted it for sale the second time. I wish I could afford to buy and restore all these bikes that are getting parted out, I share the frustration with seeing these classics busted up. Parting some is inevitable (and some would say necessary), though...

Sorry Cliff (and CBXDog), I wasn't trying to body slam anyone, just using that photo as a example of my point about painting your bike in the most favorable light.

I find it hard to believe that 1100's in decent rideable condition only bring $1200. If I see any near me for that price I will buy them.

Maybe the slow economy means that guys that previously have bought and flipped bikes instantly for profit over and over may now have to post it for a couple of months instead of 5 days on E-bay and wait for a buyer. Maybe this economy means that flipping bikes will be a much more lengthy process and less desirable for someone looking for a revenue stream from that process.

When money is tight, luxury items (motorcycles for most here) are put on a back burner. Repossessed near new Harleys on LI are also real cheap.That would be good if I wanted one.

One can only hope that this economy will drive some of the bike wreckers out of business or have them turn their attention elsewhere to other targets.

I'm sure that many old Honda's sitting under layers of dust around the country can breath easier now that the vultures may stop circling so hard.......

Hey guys
This is an interesting topic.
I am 54 and bought an 1100f brand new.
I feel like I will ride till I am 100 Smile

I have sold bikes to 30 year old guys that love the old bikes.
Look what the market has done on the 750k bikes, and the 750/900f bikes and they are all much older than the 1100f bikes.
Taking all this in to account, I think the future is bright for the 11
It is just in a slump period right now, plus I think the reason they are being parted out is actually because of the popularity of the bike and the perception that the parts are worth so much, which is somewhat true.
In my opinion the more that get parted the rarer they get and thus the more expensive they will be. I see more and more interest from younger dudes who are just learning about the bike.
I LOVE the new bikes and own them as well, but the old school hot rods will always enjoy a solid following of both young and old
And that's the way it is because I said so..... Smile

I agree, though not into it, look at the prices for pan heads possibly the worst bike ever built, those step thru hondas etc. hence a shed full of over priced DOHC parts.

I turned down a good condition 1100 in Austin last year. Emotionally, I really wanted to buy it, but couldn't see a reason to do it financially.

Well I guess when someone wants something badly they will definitely get it even at a slightly higher price. Here are some still alive in OZ and one is now up to $4600

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Honda-CB1100-F-/330436909990?cmd=ViewItem&pt=AU_Motorcycles&hash=item4cef931ba6

and another one for $2500 reserve not met.

So the price for CB11 in OZ is still good Very Happy

I disagree on the Pans being the worst. I've ridden them for many years and have NEVER had any problems what so ever. And yes the prices have gone way up. That's because Knuckles are so expensive. Tattoo

Its not like muscle cars that have year one or original parts group for parts. These bikes will become more valuable as they get more hard to come by. Hopefully original muscle bikes will have somewhat the same following as muscle cars do now. Where is barrett jackson?
