I tried to resist commenting but something inside of me refused to listen. Someone writes a reply on a thread to report something like it is the first time it has been mentioned. You do realize that no less than 4 other people have not only reported this already but actually posted articles about it. Did you not read the thread? At all? It is so annoying when this happens.

Rant over! Sorry! I know I am going to take a little heat for this but d*mn.

Since you don't give a d*mn and you are likely to keep posting redundant information, despite the fact that is has already been posted multiple times, maybe you should consider changing your name to 'Captain Obvious'. This way we will know to simply skip past anything you post.

Ever read a review on the 19 CVO's. Every article I read say how great they are. They are not. Quality sucks. When front brake rotors fail every 6000 miles you have a major quality issue. When seat material is worn out art 10K miles and 9 months old you have a quality issue you. The list goes on.

Motorcycle rags and other reviews of bike are all glowing so the manufacture can sell the stuff.

I have not seen glowing or positive reviews from owners of the live wire.....

To be very honest, I'm curious to see what the management will come out on the 2nd quarter, when they will announce the details of the new restructuring plan that's been dubbed "The Rewire".

If they follow along what was originally set on the "More Roads" planning...both the Bronx and Pan Am would come out as 2021 models and there's a continued plan to invest in the "core" (cruiser/touring) line with 02-06 new models per year.

Now, the question is, with the pandemics going on and the possibility of second (and more waves), what will come out of the 'Rewire' Plan?

I agree. The Bronx and Pan America should be more than ready by now. HD should release these models this August as 21s to satiate those so inclined and keep good presses, then roll out 2021 cruisers next January.

Assuming there are no raw materials / supplier issues due to current global supply chain problems.

Maybe with the restructure they are not even going to bother releasing them anymore?

Probably too much capital investment in machinery and Marketing to turn back now.
