Harley CEO is doing an interview on CNBC right now and was talking about the new switchback. He said about the switchback, and I quote "we have geared the switchback convertible towards younger female riders"
There you go, straight from the horses mouth on CNBC.
This is starting to be insulting. I'm a new SB owner. I've owned 8 Harleys over the years including 2 haritages and an electra glide classic. If you have questions about the bike, I will be happy to give you an honest opinion. But there is no need to start trashing this model or speculating about the riders who may, or have, purchased one. I know I'm a new guy to this site, so maybe I don't have any right to express this opinion.

You do understand that I was just posting what the CEO of HD said about the new switchback right? Howz the haritages treating you..........
I think some people are just messing around and you shouldn't take it personally,
So what if the Harley CEO says it's targeted towards young females. That doesn't mean others can't ride one. Plenty of folks give Sportster riders a hard time too, Deluxe riders and some Lo riders as well - it's really not mean't to be anything more than some ole fashioned ribbing to get a rise outta folks.
