A local guy here has a standard 2013 with centerstand and tall vented windshield added that I think I could get for $14,500. It has 5k miles on it. I can buy a new one for $15,585 out the door, with center stand, but no tall shield. Do either seem like good deals? One noticeably better than the other? I'm not a huge fan of the red color on the used one, but I could live with it.

If you buy the new one, Honda is now offering $1000 in free accessories and an extra year on the warranty (http://powersports.honda.com/offers/motorcycles/touring/ctx700e.aspx). I'd definitely go new.

I couldn't. :icon_biggrin:

But I do think either of those deals seems very reasonable.

The red on would of course go faster, that's why you don't see as many. :stirthepot:

Any idea when this promotion started? I just bought my Deluxe on June 26.

Pay attention to that one year free extended warranty other
found out that if you opt for this you could not buy the 4 year
warranty this has been discuss on the other 1800 forum so if
if you go that route get every thing on paper that you can so if
you want to buy the 4 year warranty if you so desire so check
with Honda at the 1-800 number to be sure.

If I decide to definitely go with the F6B, I will likely get the new. That $1000 could almost get windshield and driving lights.

I'm not sure about the Deluxe model. Russellville puts a center stand on for free. I ride alone, so I don't care much about the passenger back rest. That leaves heated grips and self-cancelling signals. I've never had either, so I could probably live without them.

Self cancelling, eh...can take it or leave it. Heated hand grips on the other hand are wonderful. It's amazing what warm hands can do to the rest of the body!
wait...hey, hey...this is a family show, dang it!!:icon_doh:

I'd pay an extra $1000 for the brand new bike all day long over a used bike with 5,000 miles.

Go to Cycle Trader and cost shop the prices. I think Honda of Chattanoga has the best prices of anyone and you can use this as a start point for bargaining. It helped bring my price way down in WA where dealers don't like to deal. My preference is to buy new, a center stand is around $250 and shop time should be under an hour. The windscreen 2-300 depending of model. Don't think the used price is that great a deal. Last years should be blowing out the door now that the 14s are out. I bought the standard and the dealer added the upgrades to bring it to a higher trim level. Nice thing about new is financing all the accessories, I got the dealer to install everything for free that I wanted. While you're looking check out Alaska Fed. Credit Union, lowest rates I've found yet, they beat Honda. Awesome bike, you'll love it.
