My limited understanding for Canada is:
According to the leadership of the Canadian Honda head office, this market is optimal for the CB300, CB500 and CB650. You may disagree, but this appears to be decided by HQ Japan. Canada has inadequately demonstrated that other models flourish. I suspect maybe importing too few (?) of other models like the CB1100 is not cost effective under these conditions?
I do know that our younger generation riders are attracted to these engine sizes, probably for insurance reasons.
It should be interesting to see if the CB1000R will be seen beyond this year.
Furthermore, for most of the model line-up, you can choose any colour you wish - as long as you like red.
