Do you think this is for real?

Only 75 units brought into the country?
If so, what’s the point??

Are you asking "What's the point in saying 'only 75' units?" I would say that this makes the machine sound rare, exclusive, exotic, and cool . . . potentially good sales tool.

75 sounds like an amazingly small number for ANY Honda product. It costs a bunch for EPA/DOT certification and that's not many units around which to spread that cost.

When I placed a deposit on a new 2017 on January 11th, the sales manager told me that he was showing 23 units in the warehouse. I cannot seem to find where Honda has a warehouse or warehouses (is there one or many?), but if there is only one, then with 23 remaining and obviously low sales in the US, 75 might be the right number.

If it really is 75, then I feel better about not getting a particularly good deal on mine. Seems like the dealers in the west and southwest are offering them at low prices, maybe because they have them on the floor. In this area (southwest PA), there aren't any on the floor, and dealers have to order them from the warehouse.

Last time I bought a bike that was brought into the US in small numbers was my 1981 Triumph Bonneville, of which only 180 were brought in (out of 500 total production). It was arguably the prettiest bike I've ever owned (out of 14 or 16) and the only one that my wife (who cares nothing about motorcycles) says I should have kept. Gorgeous, but a museum piece (not particularly well built nor robust).
