A big reason for new (and many) riders picking CB's and that's because the Japanese companies have left our market behind. If you don't want to flop an expensive Japanese model learning how to ride or simply don't need the newest/latest/fastest bike, the Japanese have nothing to offer that's remotely affordable. I believe the cheapest small displacement dual sport is the DR200 and it's twice the price of the SSR XF250 and the SSR is a more advanced bike.

Me spending big bucks on a top of the line Japanese bike would be like me buying a set of Callaways. At this stage of the game, a $10,000.00 set of clubs will not make me a better golfer nor am I looking to push the limits and improve my game.
