Gentlemen,
The CB1100 is, by today's standards, a pretty expensive bike and it's made in Japan which means it's expensive to build. Honda is having great success with utilitarian smaller bikes like the CBR250R and it's dual sport cousin built in low wage countries like Thailand and India. In today's Great Depression the top end of the market and the bottom end tend to do the best. The CB1100 is in the middle and in a good economy I think it would sell well for years. Today it's tough to say. I hope this bike has a multi year run and I don't care about exclusivity. I can find and buy all kinds of cool stuff for my Mustangs because they are popular. The aftermarket is non existent for the American Motors AMX even though it's a cool car.
