Honda and BMW both detune air cooled motors as a way to keep in compliance, which is one reason the CB1100 engine is only 9.5:1 compression @ 85 BHP.

Honda will continue to make the CB1100 model so long as it's profitable. Many dealers don't know how to sell them.

Air-cooled engines remain on current model of HD's, H's K's, Y's, S's, and will not die off any faster than water-cooled.

The genuine challenge to all motorcycle manufacturers of internal combustion engines remains electricity.

For example, http://www.zeromotorcycles.com/

Despite BMW not scoring very well in the recent Consumers Report article, unit sales are up about 16% YOY.
