I was out at my local Honda dealership. After almost two years "Scarlet" has finally experienced pannier latch fatigue syndrome. After tending to business, the parts and service manger took me out back to see several bikes that the owner had just purchased. They looked a bit like this:
except that both were 4 cylinder machines.
We joked around suggesting that Honda should come out with a "Classic" or "Vintage" series of bikes modelled on some old classics. Only the looks however, they should be fuel injected and have all the best modern technology.
Luke and I proposed three bikes (all 4 cylinder). A CB 350, CB 550 and CB 750. A modern CB 350 could come in at a very reasonable price point and would sure beat the hell out of a Rebel.
I think there would be a huge market for this type of bike. After all it works for Triumph with the Bonneville series.
Any thoughts?
