I fall in the "Who cares" camp as well. Agree with AZ, you'll see the quality, fit and fitment differences right away. In the end everyone's gotta be happy with what they ride, and I'll continue to make mine American iron with that famous H-D badging and unmistakable thump.

Where's the 'This is a joke, right?' choice for an answer?

It's a chopper, so it falls under the "don't care" catagory.

Maybe there should be a *Wake Up* Harley option.

Ya like that scoot or not... Bottom line is not many people UNDER the age of 35 (I would bet) are NOT buying a Harley.

So, when those CBR riders are done with the speed, they trust Honda for a street bike.

Young H-D buyers are a dying breed.

Like it or not, Harley had best start to think about that.

What's wrong with expanding the current line-up?

Honda has been trying to compete directly with Harley for nearly 30 years now. I don't guess anyone in Milwaukee is losing any sleep over it.
