Is that such a bad move from Honda's point of view? In almost every biking category, buyers want performance and handling, in a package that excites them, aesthetically.
Cruisers are one segment where handling and performance are not such a big consideration; looks are the deal-closer.
On top of that, as we've sort of established the buying population are often very interested in the image projected.
An image based market that sells on looks not corner speed and chassis tech and weight is not an issue: far lower R&D costs in my opinion and usually quite a big retail price tag....
Sounds like a winner for H, to me....
