Default Should Harley-Davidson change their name?

First there was IHOP changing their name to iHOb. But that turned out to be fake. Now Dunkin' Donuts has announced they are changing their name to "Dunkin'". So maybe HD should change their name to just "Harley". Or Hundred Dollars? Or something else?

Yup. There wasn't any backlash though.

Brilliant.
Name recognition is about all they have left.

Definitely not. "Harley Davidson" draws more buyers than the bikes on the floor lately.

They could change their name to a symbol. - "The company formerly known as Harley-Davidson"
