I wonder if they will bring back Buell in some form. It was a good bike that may do better in other markets.

I like adventure bikes. I have always wanted an Africa Twin since I first saw them in Paris when I was a kid. I like the way they look and are a good all around bike. I do think the HD version looks cool, but I do dislike the price. I really wish it was more affordable or priced similar to the others. I mean an Africa Twin base price is 15k for the Sport with DCT.

Typical Harley.

Wait too long to bring something to an already saturated market. (Adv bike.)

At least Matt is thinking of "lightening" the overweight garbage they serve us now with.

You know, when your Harley frame weighs more than your Corvette frame, there's something wrong...

Just saw this myself. Love the looks of that street fighter and think the adventure bike looks pretty good too. I like what HD is doing. Couldhave been sooner, but better late than never.

I am liking the PA, but pricing will need to competitive, otherwise I will look elsewhere.
These bikes will not have the cache that the other brands carry, at least not at first.
I do hope they are decent bikes, all of them

Uh. That Pan American is pretty ugly and... good luck competing with Honda, BMW, Triumph, and KTM in a market that they all excel in.
