Oh my...Triumph Thruxtons

[Capo]

I agree it would be cool for Honda to offer accessories, but I doubt it will really happen. Probably half of Triumph's business is "new classics" whereas Honda has basically the CB alone and then focuses other stuff.

I'd argue that the lack of focus is the problem. List virtually every bike Honda has put out over the last five years: CB, VFR, CTX, Gold Wing bagger, Interceptor. You can buy 2 and 3 year old models, still in the crates or collecting dust on the sales floor, for 40% off list price. They put out nice bikes, don't market them, don't offer accessories, over price them, and let them drop in the market.

I get it, they sell 4 million bikes a year in India, but they desperately need to focus on enthusiasts with their specialty bikes in the US. IMHO, of course.
