Dealers in my part of the world are starting to get hungry. Or their makes are. The NT1100 is still selling great all over the world. Other bikes, not so much.
I am getting more and more discount ads.
Here is a dealer on the left coast of wa who is taking a decent 500 cc bike with slipper clutch which sold for $7500 plus freight and setup And selling them out the door for $5000, plus pirate fees.
While my generation loves fork gators and tank pads, this is not my bike but beats the heck out of a Royal Enfield. All it needs is a center stand. When motor cycling was popular, many dealers would bend me over a chair and hand me a jar of Vaseline. Now maybe it's their turn. Let's see how bad they want to carry that inventory over the winter.

Sweet running engine is the same as the NX500 (CB500X) that I have. Absolutely reliable, excellent fuel economy, just barely adequate power for touring. Boring.

Even though it’s cheap, I’m not fond of the style of the CL500AS, however.
