Branding. It's the biggest barrier to entry there is.

Acura, Lexus and Infiniti didn't hit our shores in the 70s because no one would have bought high end cars from those crappy Japanese brands back then, and no high end bike shop is going to carry your components because you're not a brand that drives customers to their store.
