I frankly don't care. If anything, from a purely selfish point of view, I would rather not see a lot of these bikes sold because it increases the rarity of the bikes already in circulation. In other words, they may actually turn this bike into an "investment" or "collectible" rather than a "put a match to your money or chase your butt every year to keep up with new models" sort of bike.
Honda probably has found that there are a few people out in the two-wheel world who will buy a bike like this and they probably have enough out there now to meet that need. Smart company.
As far as accessories are concerned, folks who wanted to mess with their bike will not be deterred because there are lots of accessories for UJM's out there now. This bike in particular, has been in the world since 2007. Six years is enough time to get all the accessories for a bike anyone could want. If you want more than that you can go to a custom shop and they will make you anything you dream of.
So, I am happy with things the way they are. We are driving a brand new bike, a great motor and transmission, with all the electronic goodies that looks like it was pulled out of a time machine from 35 years ago. I love it, man. As Katee Sackhoff said on Cafe Racer the other night; "I'm goin' to make this bike my b.tch." Forever.
Just an FYI. 2010 was the first model year for the CB1100. The concept bike first appeared in 2007.
