A letter to Honda

[the_undecider_imp]

I would really stay on them for attending the 2016 Rally. Manufacturer reps are trained to say they can't comment on any future products, but you have to read between the lines. He was hinting at the CB1100 concept bikes which is to say they are probably evaluating whether they may bring this to market, in what form, and in what markets. Perhaps by later in the year, they will have a clearer direction to which they are headed and perhaps have already identify the Asian and Euro markets that invariably get bikes like this. The North American market is always the last nut to crack.

So, with a lot of speculation and supposition, I offer some advice for what to respond back to American Honda. We are a passionate group and no better folks for Honda consult with in terms of how they should market a new CB1100 should it come to fruition. Our insight as to how, frankly unsuccessfully, Honda marketed this bike. We are an invaluable resource for them to understand where they fell short. Furthermore, if Honda does have a new CB1100, what better place would there be to either introduce it to us or announce it to the US market. They could invite the big moto-journalists and make a big to-do out of it.

Maybe I am dreaming big, but such an event would be exciting. I would do my dangdest to make it out.
