50 years ago when the CB750 was introduced, my dad was riding a Harley flat head 45 belly shift, I was riding a Cl 77 Honda Scrambler, and my younger brother was riding a CA 150 Honda Dream. We all rode up to the local Honda dealer for the unveiling of the CB 750 who had it on a revolving display in the show room. We all agreed it was too big and too complicated, and would never sell. We repeated the stupid scenario and predicted the same stupid out come at the same dealer in 1975 when the new Gold WIng came out. Another sales loser for sure lol.
Don't feel bad. Long ago I realized that predicting success for a new product isn't that easy. In '93 I was working for a brokerage firm that decided they were going to start an Internet trading platform for stocks and bonds. I came up with half a dozen reasons why it wouldn't work. I'm really glad no one listened to me.
BTW, I'm still not sure what the point of Twitter is.
It enables our leaders to communicate directly with us.
