That makes perfect sense. Because in opposte land, the heavy hauler full dresser model (Ultra Classic) requires less power, than the lighter weight model (Road King Classic). Absolute IDIOTS!

The MoCo is completely out of touch.

Not to sure about the new colors. Chrome yellow! I love the Fatboy again now that they got rid of the ugly graphics. Make mine black.

I know plenty of folks saying, well if you don't like em, don't buy em. I'm afraid of just that for the moco. I drive an old pos so that I can afford my nice harley. My prioritys might be out of whack, but it's people like us that keep harley rolling. This year I imagine a lot of owners will keep what they have and hope for better colors/options/models next year. Times are tough, cuts must be made, but you can not continue to shrink yourself into prosperity. I think that this will be another very tough year for the moco.

Basing the following questions on comments from this site, bike magazines, my dealer's concerns and my own experiences, I'd like to ask Harley the following:

What are you doing about getting spanked in all head to head comparisons regarding power output with other bikes? (V-Rod excluded)
Where is the touring V-Rod we've been hearing about for 5 years?
How have you addressed the heat issues?

I see no serious indication that anyone at HQ is listening to their customers.

You might be the one who needs to put down the beer bong! The standard Ultra still has a 96cid engine. The Ultra Limited still has the 103cid and the CVO Ultra again comes with the 110cid mill.

I think we should all go back and look at Mr. Haus's avatar and pass the beer bong.

Well.....aren't you just special. The website I went to was the same one everybody else went to, you know.....HARLEY-DAVIDSON. Doh!

Since everyone else figured it out and came to the same conclusion, you appear to be the only one left standing which makes you the JACKWAGON! Step away from the bong.....step away.
