Harley-Davidson's Revolution Max Lineup Set to Expand
#21
The earnings report was clear, HD is making serious changes to the cycle plan to save money. Unfortunately for the Pan America, canceling all the other variants that were going to use the Revolution Max engine will now make the PA very expensive. Think millions to design and develop to manufacture an engine for 3000 bikes (if that).
A company cannot 'cut' their way to prosperity. Saving money now means more cuts later. With these engines ready for production (7 months to the introduction is production ready) that cost needs to be spread out over a lot of product to recoup the investment.
I hope all the news is wrong. To me it looked like it would be a new Sportster lineup. If this CEO keeps the 1950's Sportster instead it will be a huge mistake.
As for me I was planning on riding one of the first PA's available and buying it if I liked it. Now I may hold off a year or two to see if it is still around.

I have to agree. I think Harley was on the road to some great improvements. They are now back sliding to their comfort zone. The comfort zone that is slowly killing them.

They should have done that and a scrambler when they first came out with the Street series.
