Is a seahawk a seagull???

 

Well said Luxe!

 

I for one am into classic styling in everything. I designed my'06rideafter vintage rides from H-D's past.............I also own and drive around town a 37 year old 1971 MG B Roadster (British Racing Green, of course) that turns more heads than any car I've ever owned.
It's all about design......................and great designs from the past will never die!!!!! They just get resurrectedwith modern technical advancements.

Great styling lives forever!!!!! Long live the Springer!!!!!!!

 

Actually these bikes are in my opinion better than the originals. The new deluxes and the springer classics just improved on an already great look, best of both worlds!

 

That was a bad subject as you can tell by the responses..........and here is mine.

This should go nicely with that whine!........LOL!

 

Harley tried to go with a clean slate with the V-Rod and see how well that went most all Harleys produced in the last 70 years pay tribute to the 1936 EL Knucklehead (sans the Sportster and V-ROD)

 

right now they say the average Harley owner is 45 years old. second the biggest group in the us right now is the baby boomers who are all close to 60 years old or more. with that being said it makes sense to produce something that would appeal to this group. also most of that group is still working and should be at the peak making a decent buck. Harley wants to sell bikes with that group being the prime target and the largest its a good idea. If you watch any TV you see cadillac using a led zeppelin song on there advertising and others using songs to target that same group the ones who should have the money to buy. In 20 years yo will be hearing snoop dog on the ads. drummer3278 thanks for the kind words

 

Aren't all "V-Twins" sort of a retro look?
It's not popular because they are a better engineering design.

The bikes are more ride able now, with modern technology.
You can pretty much take off cross country now.
I remember back in the 70’s and 80’s the Harley’s either broke down or had parts falling off of them just on daily rides.

 

There is nothing old school about a twin cam motorcycle.

 

I love modern technology with the old skool look. Here are some TC 88's withsome old school flair; They were all made at: www.warrs.com Check out their performance & custome shop for more pics if your into these kinda bikes.
