Default New Harley Marketing Campaign

Came across this on the CNNMoney web site : Harley revs up cooler image with supermodel Miller
http://money.cnn.com/news/newsfeeds/...5cb24872a4.htm

The article states: Starting Oct. 10, Harley will launch an ad campaign featuring supermodel Marisa Miller, 30, promoting the Milwaukee-based company's new V-Rod Muscle motorcycle, a sporty, sleek bike that targets a younger, urban and affluent demographic.

While the V-Rod is not 'zactly my kinda thing, I do think it is a good lookin bike. On the other hand, I saw the V-Rod Muscle for the first time last weekend...and I gotta say that is one fugly ride. But, if Miller came as a backseat accessory, I might could learn to like it.

I dont remember seeing that in the catalog. It looks really good but I think it's too high maintenance.

Problem is younger riders can't afford it.

I like the looks, but "the muscle" is a terrible name for a bike.
Think of the dialogue between two riders, one of them owning one.
First person: "Hey man, what do you ride?"
Second Person: "I ride a muscle"
First Person: "Hey man, I don't swing that way"

Unless they're marketing to the dance club people.
