I don't think an argument about weight or hp is terribly relevant for a bike like the CB, just as I don't think it's relevant for a full-dress Harley. I don't think the target demographic of either bike is necessarily concerned about specs, or they would have purchased something else. Instead, they're attracted to the bike because of how it makes them feel, brand heritage / loyalty, perceived quality, etc. Both are competent at what they were designed to accomplish, without pretense or illusion. And I don't even care for Harleys.
Without knowing the facts, I don't understand how the CB can be characterized as a sales failure. Generally, based on the comments I've read here, the folks that own them, love them. How many products have that kind of following? Honda should be proud of what they've built.
