I suspect one or both of them will find their way to this forum due to you. I was hoping you'd mention the desire, by some, for spoked wheels. Regardless, I'm cautiously optimistic, based on what you've learned, the CB will return to North America. I don't see myself trading in my 2014 Standard but hope that with continued production, there will be expanded aftermarket options. I'm sure our friend Takashi is hoping the same thing.
Yes, yes, yes. Wire spoke wheels! That would drive me to buy a new one.

I'd be tempted, but then I recall the effort required to keep the spokes clean and shiny. Modern chroming processes need to be environmentally friendly, and as such, the present day chrome is not as good and needs regular attention in order to keep looking good and not discoloring or rusting or flaking off. Chrome from 20-50 years ago lasted much longer with little effort.
