[Poser]

Honda is getting their butt kicked by Harley, Yamaha, Suzuki and BMW in the big bike market. They have been making cheap cruisers with chrome plated plastic for too long.

The Goldwing has gone downhill for some time. Now that a Goldwing costs more than an Electra-Glide or most big beemers, they are having a hard time competing. I see many more big beemers here now than Goldwings. That wasn't true 5 years ago.

I noticed the same thing at Americade last summer. Fewer Goldwings and more beemers and Harleys. I bought a V-Strom and put Givi bags on it. Total for a 1 liter touring bike, $8,000.
