| n the life-cycle of motorcycle models, there's much to be said for early retirement. Motorcycles with secure niches and no direct competitors can survive for a long time, but in a highly competitive market, senior citizens wobble off with black eyes. That's what happened to Honda in the so-called 400cc four-stroke market in the early 1970s. Honda had a perfectly nice (for 1973) CB360, the pedigree of which traced back to 1967. But by 1976 the poor old was getting roughed up in the sales derby by newer four-stroke twins from Kawasaki, Suzuki and Yamaha | |
