sheesh, all you guys are just spoiled, out here in switzerland most CBs cost that much, esp. 'mint' ones like this one. I get so jealous when I keep reading that all you guys bought your bikes for like $300. The cheapest ones (the ones my financial situation forces me to look at) are 1900.- swiss francs (which is about the same as the dollar these days) but of course, $5500.- is way too much when you can get one that just needs a lil TLC for way cheaper. hah.
