I think the price differences get nullified more than we'd think due to so many new riders relying on financing for these bikes. (regardless of what we might think about the benefits of doing so). The price that many newer / younger riders for either the kawi or the cbr has as much to do with the financing available. Nobody who wants the kawi is going to buy the cbr because it's a little cheaper. Nobody who wants the cbr is going to be swayed to the kawi, even if the pricing was identical.
