Everyone wants in on the faring bagger craze. Street/Road glide rules the roost in sales numbers. Indian just came out with their own version of the Road Glide--which FWIW I think is a lot uglier than a road glide. BMW wants a piece of the pie as well. Beemerglide.

I doubt that Harley will bring back a Boxer twin but if they want to create an actual NEW model. This would definitely be a contender

You know the XA was a copy of a BMW during WWII right? A direct copy of the drive train!?!?!? So even during the war the Harley XA looked like a BMW.
