I'm sure Honda could've taken a more serious approach on the small motorcycles in America, even though the "cultural" perception about motorcycles there is more oriented toward either Harley-Davidson or dirt-bikes. Maybe it would be harder to persuade an American to commute daily on a 125cc motorcycle like many people in 3rd-world countries such as mine do even on bad weather, but even for those who just want to ride one in the summer a rugged 125cc single would make more sense than an oversized pig full of chrome.
