And at dealerships it should be on a pedestal with lights shone on it and vintage Hondas and gear next to it.In Germany, there were quite some advertisments in diverese motorcycle magazines and also "viral" as video or so. And the CB 1100 got some attention in multiple bike magazines. Nevertheless, roughly less than 500 bikes were sold Germany-wide in 2013.
With Honda's heritage of the 750 Four and all the other UJM's they produced by the hundreds of thousands in the '60's, 70's and '80's, this bike should be a winner. They've buried it with a complete lack of marketing and accessories.
Kudos to Triumph for doing retro right.
