For any company to survive, change, innovation and adapting are needed. I've ridden Harley's for years and quite honestly the business model does not work. Mega dealerships resulting in tremendous cost overhead, late response to technology and motorcycles not competitive with the market. The past does not guarantee the future and while I have tremendous loyalty to the brand I encourage anyone to take out the new Goldwing, or the second bike I own which is a Ducati Multistrada or my BMW K1300S. All three of these can be purchased new for less than the price of a new CVO Ultra. I can't think of a compelling reason to buy a Harley these days.
