To be honest there’s not a lot going on and I don’t know whether it’s Corona/ shifting buying trends/ insurance costs or what but there’s really not much being released. In the UK Euro 5 has killed off loads of bikes in a stroke and it doesn’t appear there’s any action to replace the broad range we enjoyed before. Regarding Honda I actually thought some pages were missing off their official UK site because it seemed so Spartan. Goldwing, Africa Twin, CB1000, CBR650 and smaller scootery stuff. Pretty much it.
Only RE seemed to be actively going after it with new designs that will no doubt sell very well.
I think their might be a derogation on Euro V, possibly to suit the Italians, the new Ducati V4S is not Euro V yet. So if Honda have still got stocks of the CB1100 they may well still get to sell it for a while, it has not gone from their website either. If there was no derogation it should not be for sale as the 12 month grace period has expired. Triumph seem to be selling every Tiger 900 they can make as I know a few people after them and the dealer is struggling to get quotas. They have large orders stacked up for the new Trident too so I think they are busy enough.
