His buddy, on his 1200cc air-cooled inline four Suzuki Bandit was, he told us, totally used to being completely ignored when out with his Bol D'Or riding buddy. You had to feel sorry for him, the Bandits always had that "cheap" reputation over here and it seems to of stuck.
Sadly, for most of the Kawasaki line card, that has always been the case. Another might say Honda is overpriced. Perspective.

Yes, there is that, then Honda surprise everyone with the low price of the Rebel 1100 and the newly released NT1100. Neither my cup of tea but I have to admire Honda's bold move with those bikes.
Have Honda abandoned the complex and expensive to manufacture in-line 4 now, I wonder?

The days of inline-4 are quickly narrowing. It wouldn't surprise me if they reduce their portfolio to just one offering - yet perfecting it with all their technological might ... and then appending their awesome DCT and a magical final shaft drive.
