Maybe they've figured out what Harley and others like Triumph already know........that cloths, gear and accessories sell and bring in about as much income as the bikes do. 

Honda should take a lesson.

Maybe more. The profit margin is certainly higher on gear.

Probably. The power of DINK (Dual Income, No Kids) compels you.

Whatever, I don't care as long as the revenue allows them to keep making brilliant bikes.

There's also that Jersey Shore/Peacock/Metrosexual crowd that has money to spend.

Have you ever seen a Honda catalog?  Nope....they've got brochures with bikes in them and may or may not offer a handfull of accessories for each bike they offer in those brochures. 

Harley has giant phone book sized catalogs with a few bikes in them with tons and tons of add-on.....stuff.

There's a lot of acrobatics that are involved in runway antics these days.  Who'da thunk?  I'd like to put on the same gear and go up right after the 360 spinning kick guy and try the same thing.
