Yes the KE100 is fun and cheaper. But I am on the other side. I had a CL100 as a kid and loved it and road the hell out of it. When I went looking for another, I could have bought so many different bikes and been better off but the bottom line is it was not "THE BIKE". I think this is his problem. He wants the bike he had way back then.
I personally think the price is fair. The $2200 on the other topic is a very good deal for a super low milage time capsule bike. The guy that wants that model in excellent shape will pay for that bike. It just takes time to find that person.
For me I looked for @ 3 years till I found mine. And now 10 years later I am thinking to sell as I have to reduce. Very hard decision.
Last thing... never go in debt but for a house or car. Aaron Blair said it right. If you cannot do cash you cannot do it.
