I don't believe Honda had any real interest in selling a load of them in the US. Though there are dealerships with new ones in inventory, the total amount weren't like they planned to flood the market with them. My assumption is that they figured out just how much a market there was of baby boomers to purchase them and gave us a few extras. The global market is better suited than the fickle North America market, the CB doesn't have the tire size, HP, or drive train the 20 to 30 crowd wants, and the baby boomers have lusted after cruisers like Harley and Victory for the most part. Honda knew what it was doing, us old ferts bought up what was out there, a few old dudes missed out and some younger guys bought a classic.
