I think maybe it might have been because people trusted the reliability of the Japanese bikes over the Italian machines of the day, plus they were more costly and dealerships were few and far between.
Probably today, a similar machine would sell in higher numbers proportionally.... if the price was competitive enough.

Actually, looking at the CBX and the SEi today, i'd go for the SEi. I think it's aged better aesthetically......but the bike in the video is on another level of tastiness....

Modelled it to look like an MV, personally I’d still go for the CBX.
But from the Millyard book of Clever buggers. Suzuki GT1000.

Would be an interesting experience to ride.
I've never ridden a 2 stroke bigger than 350cc.

I’ve a mate who’s got the Moto Guzzi’s badged one, he’s of the same opinion “screamer!” But one that handles extremely well.

Ive been luckily enough to have ridden, but never owned a T500, a GT550 and a GT750 and I do love a Kettle. But never been in the position to own one.
