Can not export or import Historical Relevance
I would agree. I bought a triumph due to its prestige and history. Either was going to be a Duc or an S3. Plain and simple I wouldn't desire to buying a bike that was no longer unique or a bike that has sold out it's History for increased market share or production cost savings. I would pay more for a bike built by an Englishman or American because as far as I am concerned that IS ME. You can not import or export this type of niche branding and customer following.loyalty.
I guess saying I wouldn't own one is probably too strong. They would have to have a cost / performance ratio that blew everyone else out of the water simply because the tradition or history of the bike would be reduced to a Jap bike instead of an historical icon. Not knocking Jap bikes for what they are quality etc. is fine but for me there is no history there that I feel a kinsmanship to. Which is why I am on a Triumph.
