Is Honda next?

Trends.
Fads.
Whatever.

25 years ago, the showrooms were flush in watercraft.
10-15 years ago, 2-wheeled motorcycles were stacked in there like cord wood.
....NOW - ATV/UTVs are parked inside and outside, all over the lawn.

Maybe it's like that. I mean like, who wants a motorcycle that doesn't already have one? This is February, and I can go to Craigslist and search for used motorcycles and get 2,500 hits. That's the "by owner" bikes. Plenty inventory available.

Next opinion, please.

I agree. I'd add that probably half the motorcycle buying public realizes that that $13,000 MSRP bike can be had a year and a half 'old' with 400 miles on the ODO on the used market for $6500 and looks for one of them because either they know they're only going to put 1K miles a year on it anyway, and/or their toy budget is small.

And one size certainly doesn't fit all w/r/t the US of A.
What's on the dealer's floor in Florida isn't what's on the dealer floor near NYC, which isn't what's on the floor in Michigan, et, etc.
So we all have to be mindful that what is our own experience in our own part of the country doesn't apply everywhere else.
