Well I'm a baby boomer and I'd like to see them go the other way (not old).
Modern styling, lighter weight, and more than 2 cylinders.

Even this styling from the 80s looks modern compared to what they have now. (except the V-rods)

I am an old guy too. I would like a touring bike without the infotainment system. Just some tunes for the cruise would be OK with me. Road King would be my only choice right now.

Create a scrambler version of the Sportster or the Street 750 (ugh). As much as I don't like adventure bikes, this could possibly sell if done right. The Sporty platform would work here to.

Indeed but the Sportster needs to be brought back to its roots and they need to at least offer Scrambler model for it because everybody builds a Scrambler out of the Sportster
