Default Another rumour about HD's 2010 Models

Might as well throw this one into the mix with all the other stuff being posted about the 2010's.

A salesman at the dealer told me that HD may introduce a lower cc output bike for entry level riders this year. The thinking is that the 883 may still be too much bike for some and a 350-500 cc scoot might appeal to the younger crowd.

No tellin' what'll happen...but it sure is fun reading all this stuff.

Actually, they are going to introduce a line of Harley Davidson " Skate Boards for the X Games " complete with Harley Davidson leg casts and elbow pads!

I think maybe one with a lower COG would help a lot of new-be's and riders vertical challanged. One of issues with Sporty's is top heavyness.

In all seriousness. I keep reading here on the forums that HD needs to appeal more to the younger folks. It seems to me there are lots of young people who want an HD. I think the problem is the price. Maybe this would make them more affordable?
