Mangos and potatoes
Quote:... The base price of a 2017 CB1100 EX is US$12,300. The base price of a comparable Triumph 80 HP 1200cc T120 Bonneville is $11,800, but if you add the two-tone fuel tank it is US$12,300... North American motorcycle market is so dominated by HD that the vast majority of potential customers consider two cylinders to be not a compromise for budget-conscious, but something entirely appropriate on a top-tier offering. Or, IMHO, comparing an I4 Honda with an I2 Triumph is not comparing apples and oranges, it is comparing mangos and potatoes.
