This article talks a little more about HD's plans to branch out.

Good move. No need to be a hater. The MoCo will build Harley's for the next generation. We Boomers already have ours. There's plenty of timeless, air-cooled hogs to keep our panties un-wadded.

weight and price are going to be the deciding factor here. Hopefully they can keep both on a diet.

I hope it works out for HD. If they price it right and do some great advertising it may sell. Dependability will also be an issue. Time will tell.

Looks to be water cooled and electric adjustable windshield from the pic. I have not read the article.

Also a Street Fighter Harley doesn't appear to be sitting around on their ***.

One of the mods needs to combine all these threads.
