For reference's sake, simply look at what Yamaha offers for the same price, with the XSR900 70th Anniversary model. Modern electronics, liquid cooling, much higher-end componentry everywhere. The only areas in which the CB has more expensive componentry are the steel fenders, dual instrument clusters, spoked wheels, and chrome bits.
I also agree with him that the current msrp of most sportbikes has priced them out of the picture for most people.
Perhaps so. $9,999 is more than I paid for my new 2017EX.
