Godlover Posted March 18, 2016 #1 Posted March 18, 2016 A guy wants to trade in a very nice CB1100f on my BMW. He claims they go for $6,000 but there aren't many out there to get true value. I know they are scarce as they were only made in 1983. Any ideas of worth?
eagleeye Posted March 18, 2016 #2 Posted March 18, 2016 Just did a quick check on CL, and one like the one you posted go for 3K to 5K What's the BMW worth?
Godlover Posted March 18, 2016 Author #3 Posted March 18, 2016 Just did a quick check on CL, and one like the one you posted go for 3K to 5K What's the BMW worth? Yeah, I found one for $2995 but wasn't as nice. My BMW is a prior Salvage and I'm asking $6250. He wants to trade the bike and $2000. I am thinking his bike and $2500.
eagleeye Posted March 18, 2016 #4 Posted March 18, 2016 Sounds like your both in the ballpark to me. Negotiate.
Godlover Posted March 18, 2016 Author #5 Posted March 18, 2016 Well, the guy emailed and said his wife read his emails and was upset because he has 6 grand in his bike. Dropped his offer to $500 and his bike on my 2005 BMW K1200LT with 7,000 miles. Sometimes I wonder about people!
Godlover Posted March 18, 2016 Author #8 Posted March 18, 2016 Nice Beemer! Yea. I'm just trying to get $6250 out of it. I don't know what the other guy was thinking. Ugh
cowpuc Posted March 18, 2016 #9 Posted March 18, 2016 Yep,, nice bikes.. I did one a number of years ago and sold it quick for 5.. Bike FLEW - had a high speed wobble that would scare the daylights out of you - ended up rebuilding the forks then it was straight.. Good sellers back in the day!! Things have changed majorly in the vintage Metric market though.. Right now a person can barely get 6 out of a good clean CBX.. Back when I did the CBF I also did a couple CBX's and those were 12k bikes all day,,, like I said - today I can buy the same CBX for 6ish - clean,running and ready to rumble.. Would be careful in the swap if I were you Godlover UNLESS you are just wanting and LOVING on a CBF.. Times are different... By the way,, here is something you lop eared V-4 loving varmints may find interesting.. If memory serves me correctly, that CB1100F was a one year model because Honda came out with the V-4 Interceptor in 84.. The 1100f was an inline and,, I am thinking Honda found something magic about the V-4 platform
cowpuc Posted March 18, 2016 #10 Posted March 18, 2016 That Beemer is :178:.. Is that injected Godlover? I rode a buddies out to Lake Placid one year and he rode my 1st Gen,, may have been a different year than yours.. His Beemer would outrun my Venture PLUS it got over 50mpg - seems like it was a 6 speeder with over drive.. Amazing scoot!! He had some issues with his though,, seems like I recall some pretty pricey Brakes issues or drive shaft or something... What ever it was, it was covered under warranty but the $$ amount on the repair invoice scared him and he traded it in..... NICE SCOOT THOUGH!!!

If you can't turn a wrench or have deep pockets then the Beemer is not your bike! To change the gas and air filter you have to pull the Tupperware and remove the gas tank! By 05 the brakes are more reliable and around 5% had the final drive issue. Every bike has some sort if issues that seem to get discussed often. Kind of like a clutch basket issue in another bike I know. They do get close to 50 mpg. I'd keep it in a heartbeat I'd it fit me better.
