Well after ringing around , and finding that NO DEALER , in my state has one or even intends to get one , I started to ring interstate , and found one dealer who actually has one on the floor ,
When asked the price the salesmen , said he was'nt sure , he will get back to me , still waiting 2 days later ,
So i rang Honda Aust , the girl informs me they were released in April and she is'nt sure what stores have them or will be getting them , BUT she did know the price , $18,500 plus on roads bringing it to a tad over 20 grand .
Err don't think so , not for me at that price don't Honda learn , last year they had a big run out sale on all the st 1300's to get rid of them , they were dropped down from $23,000 to $17.000 ride away , just to get rid of all the old stock , they still had lots of 2010 models left , but they walked out in fact run out the door for $17000 ride away ,,
I myself spotted them too late and missed out , my local dealer said he could of sold, has many has he could get ,at that discounted price , where as at the normal price ,they were sat on his floor for a year or two ,
The same happenned with the vfr 1200 , the new flagship that turned out to be a overpriced white elephant , so much that 12 months later they were dropping thousands of the price and up setting there loyal cutomers who bought at a premium .
Honda just have to relize its 2014 , and they are no longer the top dog , reliability is'nt something you pay extra for nowadays its what you have come to expect , . Myself personaly i've only ever had 2 hondas in my life and one was a heap of **** , always stuffing up , the other was bought new and was'nt a bad bike but after 2 years was starting to give me problems ,
Theres lots of bikes out there and lots of them value for money , i don't know why they don't just bring them in at a price they will sell for ,
Three out of the four honda dealers in my state , have told me they have NO INTENTION of bringing in the ctx 1300 , they will order one if i put a deposit down , but without even seeing one thats never going to happen ,
The price i've just been told , explains why , they don't expect to sell any .
