The only true answer to this question is when you see a bike and it "moves" you. I think we all know that feeling. Like the first time I saw the 2008 Harley Crossbones in Denim Black. I had never owned a street bike, but this thing just told me I had to have one. It's that feeling in your heart and soul that every time you throw a leg over that bike, you want to ride until you can't ride no more. The start of the engine, the rolling into the throttle, and the journey that bike takes you on are second to none. I thought I would never get rid of that bike until 2013 when I saw the CVO Breakout in Hard Candy Gold/Liquid Sun with Pagan Gold graphics on the dealer floor. It spoke to me and I don't regret the change. So everyone has their own tastes in bikes and what catches their eye to send them over the edge to get it. In the end it is all the same because we all have our ideal motorcycle to get us down the road.

 

Someone else would have. It wasn't as if the Wright Bros were the only people who had worked on such a contraption. They were just the first whose design was successful.

It looked to me like he was kicking a rock down the street. Sounds like a good way of getting some contemplatin' done to me.

 

Now that would be a nifty feat of electro-mechanical engineering right thar.

 

A counter balanced Ultra Softail with hard bags, batwing fairing, floorboards front and back, mag wheels and an adjustable suspension would get me to the dealer with the key and title to my Slim in hand ready to sign the papers.

Other than that I don't see any reason to step into a dealers doorway.
Unless of course their giving away beef hotdogs.
I won't waste my time on hotdogs with chicken lips and pig rectums.

 

Add a little more lean angle and dual front discs, and I'm in...

Oh wait, isn't this a Streetglide with a B motor now?? Crap...

 

Where did you hear they were putting a B motor in a Streetglide? Don't see anything on the Harley site about such a change.

 

Any big twin with a carburetor and I'm in.

 

I think you totally missed the point of his post.

 

Oh my Lord.....Note to Harley D; Please keep doing what your doing. Please pay no attention to silly notions like "bring back carbs" and evil handling Springer front ends.


Worry about the people who actually will be buying new bikes....like you do so well. Harley like Cadillac did, knows they need to bring in younger buyers to survive into the future.

 

I am a young guy and have owned over a dozen motorcycles and half of them Harleys. a Springer is plain cool no matter what age you are.
