Why Can't Honda Sell India's $900 100cc Street Motorcycle In The USA

This guy must live in fantasy land. I don't see how he can believe that people are clamoring to buy a 100cc motorcycle. We aren't due for the second coming of small motorcycles. People who already ride aren't banging down the doors of their local dealership to buy a 100cc anything. People who don't ride wouldn't be chomping at the bit to get their motorcycle license to ride 100cc motorcycle when they can hop on a 49cc scooter for the same cost with the license they already have.

Personally, I'd love to have a 100cc Honda for under a grand. That'd be a sweet little setup for running back and forth to work and school. But my commute doesn't go further than 5 miles. I have no need to hop on the highway to get anywhere. If my commute got much longer or involved highway travel, my interest in this thing would be zero.

Also, who the hell sold an economy car brand new for $8K in 2009?
