Maybe it'll do well over here Matt(I hope so), and while I also think the CB1100 is one great lookin' machine and welcome back the idea of the standard UJMs of old, I have to say I have my doubts about the sales success of this bike here in the States.
It seems presently motorcycling here in the USA has gotten very "specialized", with most street riders looking for either Cruisers or the lastest greatest Sportbikes, though lately the "Adventure" bikes have finally seemed to catch on here after they've been so successful in Europe for so many years.
Yep, I just don't know if there's enough people out there in America anymore who can appreciate those old Standards that could do everything fairly well but nothing the best.
I also think the major reason the new Bonnevilles have been a sales success(if you want to consider the new Bonnies as "Standard" bikes, that is), is primarily because of the "Heritage Factor"...something of which I'm not sure translates to this new CB1100.
I DO hope I'm wrong and will see many of these beautiful new CB1100s out there on the road in the next few years.
(...yep, I'm SOOOOO freakin' tired of just seein' Harley Evo/Twin Cam after Harley Evo/Twin Cam around here in Arizona...HECK, I'm startin' to get jazzed when I see an old SHOVELHEAD around here, for chrissake!!!!)
