Japanese dual purpose bikes

[Beetle]

I don't understand the lack Japanese dual purpose bikes. Yamaha is trying with their 660's and 1200's, but Honda lost the plot after the Africa Twin and Suzuki and Kawasaki are still trying to sell 1990 650 technology. Are the Japanese scared of the European dual purpose bike manufactures or do they think the market is too small?
