Can't wait to see this bike. Not sure I'd but it, but you never know. I really love the old school look...hence the reason for the Indian Chief Vintage. It's nice that Harley is trying to appeal to a bigger segment of the market.

Revival
If ,some can remember, this is not a new marketing philosophy. Years ago Harley built a " King of the Road ."
model FLH every year. Limited run, numbered, special paint, etc. In the 80's they had one with two tone candy root beer color.. They also did limited production runs like the 85'th in 1988 anniversary FLH in black and gold, each dealership got one FLH bike. My father bought one, my brother has it. I was one of 850 made that year l believe. It also had a special key, and certificate of ownership serialized, with a plaque and picture...
They will sell every one they make especially if they are unique and limited.

I dig the vintage vibe. The skull-laiden, sea-o-chrome scoots really don't have any appeal to me. Folks like 'em, and that's fine. This one appears to have more of what I've been jonesin' for-- a bike with some nice, vintage touches. Always wanted an older H-D, and maybe someday I'll get one. But I like to ride, so 20,000 miles a year on a four-speed shovel isn't my first choice. Can it be done? Sure! Seems to me that H-D is thinking about folks like me who wouldn't consider buying a shirt, bike, or chrome widget with a skull on it. I'm okay with that!
A new H-D isn't in the cards right now, so I found a bike I could afford and made it my own. I dig the retro vibe of my '06 RKC and it'll absorb miles without crackin' a sweat.

I reckon this is part of the "exclusivity" the new CEO plan?
would seem solid to me.
"limited" models for the deep pocket Big Ballers out there and here.
I don't believe the plan was ever (or will be) to curtail sales to us "middle class" folk as some have extrapolated.
and I'll bet my bottom dollar bikes in the "affordable to many/most" (with good credit) range of $15 to $25k won't be going away
..L.T.A.

I hope these new bikes sell well and the company recovers. I won't be buying any new Harleys as the prices are just too steep. Plenty of good used ones around.
