For comparison, the GW 250 from Suzuki has an MSRP of $4099. The reason the GW is probably considered closest to the SSR twins is the fact that it is manufactured in China, too. Yes, it is a joint venture factory, so is essentially a Suzuki. However, SSR will have a difficult time moving their bikes with similar brand name bikes only several hundred $ more, in my opinion, so discounting will be the name of the game. Again, depending on how the public takes to them. Cleveland Cyclewerks has a cult following and has sold quite a few of their bobbers, as well as their cafe racers at the $3k+ range. These SSR bikes, which will soon include the bobber, are stylish like the CCW lineup, and might create a cult following of their own.

Kind of like how SSR's XF250 enduro beats the DR200s hands down for style, features, and a larger engine for a $1k less MSRP. The GW 250 is basic transportation, while it could be argued from a salesperson's point of view, that the SSR 3 bike lineup (when the bobber becomes available) is far more 'cool' to be seen on and costs less for the same use of the bike (basic transportation).
