This pull quote certainly hits the mark:
"Motorcyclists are a picky lot. There have been a boatload of motorcycles that just didn’t resonate with buyers for the most arcane reasons. Motorcyclists will happily damn a great bike for some trifling matter."
I think another quote from the article better explains what is happening:
Quote:...Profit margins are thin and motorcycles are a luxury toy in this country...
And the only way this will change, is for US/Canada to join the rest of the world, where a motorcycle is either 50/50 (Europe, Australia...) a transportation device and a toy, (or 90/10 (Asia, Africa...)).
And that that process is underway, we will know by two phenomenons: the emergence of motorcycle parking facilities in downtowns of North America, and by legalization of lane-splitting...
I'm not holding my breath...
