I stopped by a local dealer a few days ago. Unlike a year ago their showroom was full, but not because of Japanese bikes. I talked to the sales manager. He said Kawasakis just trickle in and Yamaha is worse. The showroom was full because they also sell Triumph, Royal Enfield and a few obscure, non Japanese brands. I have seen the same thing at other dealers. If the other brands can get bikes to the USA, why can't the Japanese?
This was half of the showroom. The sales manager said they only had one Yamaha. The other half of the showroom is Triumph.
