Perhaps they may see in a poll of present owners that 50% are ticked, but in their other more comprehensive poll of riders who are looking to get a bike, or those who want to be riders, the numbers could be much higher than that 50% who already owns a bike, that the points they care about dont include point of origination, but price, style, looks, etc. So the 50% whining may be a very small number and probably arent likely to upgrade to a new bike anyway.
Funny thing, so many on here seem to want a 1500cc bike, but maybe the plant is at capacity and cant produce it, but now with two plants assembling bikes, the production capacity is now there to produce the bike you want. So you get what you want, but have a new gripe to not support the manufacturer who is trying to meet your needs.
