Interesting post, I want a bigger engine...got it, and sounds as good if not better than my 103, I want better suspension....got it..I want better brakes...got it...I want better looks and color choices....got it..I want better transmission..got it...I want a cheaper Harley...well not so much. I love that we are upgrading and adding better technology. For those that are complaining would you be happy with a kick starter and carb? I bet not!

Whaaaaaaaaaa, another thread in the sea of threads about the new bikes. Like I said in one of them, if HD keeps making the same bike, catering to you old farts, they won't generate any interest from the younger people looking to get into riding. If they start changing **** up, while it may not make people flock through the doors today or tomorrow, it's a better plan at creating interest for the people looking to buy a bike in a few years. That's what HD needs when you baby boomers die off.
In Wisconsin lots of kids grow up wanting a Harley. And they don't want a bike quieter and smoother than a Metric. We'll see if having bikes that makes the EPA happy are successful in the market.

You must have been raised without a father. Because I would have slapped your face for the way you address your elders.

Hey tough guy, my mom and dad had their 42nd anniversary this year. Wipe your tears if what I said hurt your feelings ("old fart" is soooo demeaning lol). If our little convo happened in public, he'd be next to me laughing at you for being a baby about it.

My kick start days are in my rear view...been their done that. Nothing more I would like than to have an old knuckle head. My point is everyone is complaining about technology and I think everyone is complaining to just complain. It makes no sense that people want Harley to stay the same and think that they will survive...it seems ignorant to me.

I know what you're saying. I don't like the new bikes, but I understand it's the progression of things. I'll never buy one, but they weren't made to appeal to my demographic, it's obvious they're aimed at a younger crowd
