On the other hand, the new Motorcyclist Magazine came in yesterday. A double page ad from Honda including riding gear on the Valkrie. 30 pages later another full page ad for the Valkrie. 10 pages later a full page ad for the F6B. Honda is in cruiser mode,and the CB1100 is not a cruiser.
It is really surprising, given the development of the bike...what they claim and frankly, what users SEE. It is not underthunk. It is well-engineered; bugs worked out...a lot of work in there.
And they bring it to the States...with NO marketing. A few buff-magazine reviews. WHERE are the ADVERTISEMENTS? The promotion deals?...not the chance deals on Cycle Trader, the DEALS?
Don't the Honda people know how to sell motorcycles anymore? They INVENTED the modern American cycle-marketing campaign. "You meet the nicest people..."
What HAPPENED? All this wasted effort.
