I have the same answer I had last time...just because you build a good car doesn't make you a bike builder.

 

I don't think that sportbikes will lose market share. As long as there are males in thier teens and twenties, there will be people who want to buy sport bikes. I know that I would never buy a cruiser and I would only get a sport touring bike when I'm too old to ride a sport bike.

 

Why not? Engineering is engineering. There is always a learning curve, but look at yamaha, builds V8 engines for Volvo, built V6s for Ford, builds audio equiptment and musical instraments...all verywell. Bikes aren't harder, just different. Corporate culture and engineering build bikes, not anything magical.
