You mean why dont they sell bikes like honda's 919? Or do you mean something along the lines of yamaha's offerings of the fz1? Then again suzuki puts out the sv1000 if thats more what you're thinking? or the kawasaki z1000?

oh I meant the retro look ones, not modern looking ones.

but i did a quick search on those bikes and didn't know that Honda offered 919...that looks retro with round headlight.

i didn't know that, my bad

no worries, the sv1000 in naked form is kinda along the same lines too : http://www.motorcycledaily.com/070103middle1a.jpg
