Thanks for posting the link. Extremely interesting looking. If it was around 420 pounds wet and tolerable seat wise I would love to try it. Do you think it would find much of a market here in the States?

Skeptical.

Life could get interesting in the next couple years.

As much as I'd like to think a bike like that would actually be built, I can't help but think it would have a very limited market. Although I could, and would love to be, wrong.
I was thinking the other day how several voices seem to feel the CB has been unsuccessful, but from what I've seen it's pretty popular around the world, especially in Asia. I wonder if there are any production stats?
If I recall, the current iteration of the CB has been built from 2010.

Geezer, many of us would love to see production stats. I reckon there's a lot more in Asia than we know about. We do know there's lots in Taiwan.

Intereseting but I have strong doubts about it.

The Visordown article mentions rumours about a CB400 Four though they figure it would be Japan only. If they came out with that in the US though (or the liquid cooled super four) I'd be all like, "Shut up and take my money!" Seriously.

Pretty, but not something I would/could ride.

i wonder why the CB is very heavy 540 - 575 lbs wet?
