Americans in the last few years have voted with their pocketbooks, and this style of bike just doesn't seem to have much of a following, and this is why Japan Inc. has been wary of importing many of the home market machines into the U.S. for some time.




That is so true. A couple of months ago Motorcyclist did a article on Jap bikes that are not imported to the US. There was some really nice looking Standard bikes. Some make it to Europe and some are for their home market only.

Shame, there was some really nice looking bikes on show. But i am bias. I have always had a soft spot for the old air cooled UJMs, classic or retro.
