Harley is Corporate Now!

Contrary to popular belief, Harley does extensive research into what sells, will sell, what will be good fore the long haul......and what won't sell. Those of you bitching, have a right to do so, however, you also and obviously are in the minority, hence they ended the line. HD is not going to make a move without the numbers bearing it out.

People always bitch when HD trys to advance, trys something new or ends a 6 decade old design like the Dyna - then they calm down and shell out even more money. As long as it has that HD badge, people will accept whatever they put out, even with all the bitching. It's been proven over time, they can count on badge loyalty, otherwise we wouldn't be looking at another band-aid, "re-design " like the M8.

I too prefer double shocks over the mono-shock system and don't care for a "suedo" hard-tail. I also love the Revo which was (I hope temporarily) discontinued. A 126HP beast that was shelved? I'll have to wait and see what the answer to that one is. It's easy to blame sales, however, it had a long 15 year run. Not many make it that long.

that sucks

HUH?????? Wow! this thread took a twist. LMFAO!

Simmer down now. You can always put your behemoth bike/car thing into reverse, back on out, and head down to Denny's for the early bird special.

Probably the same guys who quit listening to Metallica because they cut their hair.
