CB1300 launched in Japan

I hear very often this opinion: automaker can deliver whatever a head office of particular brand/make orders..., so I believe it also applies to motorcycles.
They tested market for sure...????

Apparently Honda Canada is constrained by the perception of what Corporate Honda thinks the Canadian market can bear. Corporate Honda asks for evidence that the market can absorb a certain request. In the case of a bike like the CB1300, there is probably extra "paperwork" to get the bike certified in Canada that Corporate Honda is reluctant to bother with unless there is a satisfactory "show me" data to back it up.

In short, the execs in Honda Canada are overpaid.
