[Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Honda's New bikes
Isn't the NC700X a new bike? Wouldn't you think Honda would be advertising it a lot more? I find it confusing at best. That's a growing market yet you don't really see anything from Honda. Like the NT700V, a really great tweener bike and perfect for the everyday commuter that likes to tour yet nothing advertised at all. I'd even add the ST1100's and 1300's into this mix. I would guess it's to protect the Goldwing? Sean On Friday, September 7, 2012 3:40:42 AM UTC-10, 2006 Nighthawk wrote: The fury looks bad a……. especially in red. No Nighthawk in the line-up.

RE: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Honda's New bikes
I agree about the advertising, but I don't know about the Goldwing. I've got the perfect commercial. Line up all the new bikes with a different color or cut of hair on each girl as they sit on the back seat of a bike. A red head, a blond, a brunet, a pony tale, an afro, etc. and a tattooed girl on fury.

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Honda's New bikes
They are only almost invisible because of the juggernaut marketing machine that is Harley. Believe me, I see far more metrics (cruisers + sportbikes) than I see legitimate Harleys. Part of the issue, as I see it, is the market for a touring bike that isn't a cruiser is somewhat small. Honda has the upmarket rolling couch segment totally locked down tight with the Goldwing; everyone has heard of those. Everyone else has to fight for those few people who want touring bikes in something other than a V-twin, and it's a small market of knowledgeable players so they don't typically need to do much advertising. -Kurt On Mon, Sep 10, 2012 at 7:15 PM, Pastor Ron pastor...@cox.net wrote: I don’t think you are going to hurt Hondas image, because they are almost invisible at this point.
