Should Harley produce a Grand Touring Bike
#11
I'm guessing since I pulled some of the bells and whistles off my old Ultra, I sure wouldn't be interested. Any new Harley would probably still need suspension work and a better seat to be really comfortable. My ultimate Harley would be... a frame I could build up with aftermarket parts. Well, and tins, I don't have a problem with those. Don't get me wrong, I think a stock Harley is still a fine motorcycle, but for something like you're talking about, I think you'd have to build it to really get that grand touring machine. And 4 cylinders? It would be more like a Harley with a 120 S&S, and that motor would handle it just fine.
I loved those. I'd take an FXRT with an S&S motor and baker 6 speed with upgraded fork guts and shocks over any of the new Harleys. That's the only Harley model on my wish list I don't already have.

Well, let's take a look:
Nope, same chassis as all HD Touring models.
Nope, same two cylinders as all HD Touring models.
Nope, same space as all HD Touring models with the Tour Pack.
Nope, same hard bags and Tour Pack as all HD Touring models with the Tour Pack.
Nope, same fuel tank as all HD Touring models.
Nope, better than "standard" Touring models, but same LED lighting as all current Special, Ultra and CVO HD Touring Models.
Nope, same 100% EPA/CARB compliant tune as all HD Touring models.
There are zero current HD Touring models that meet the OP's list of features.

Well what the op is asking for just don't make any sense now does it and it will never happen. So my answer stays the same.
