I am sure he is talking anything 2013 and older. Rushmore bikes came out in 2014.

Every time I look at the new Harley lineup, especially the price tags that go with them, my 2006 Electra Glide looks better and better.

Not a fan of the redesign. Done with new Harleys.

I laughed because someone who supposedly has been in the Harley circles for years did not know what a Rushmore bike was.

I thought it was a joke.

No reason for you to get all puffed up and insulting.

Ya they are just making fancy bikes, but fancy aint for everyone. Especially when it comes to Road Kings.

The blacked out craze isn't so cool, when everyone has it too.

That said I realize times changes and things do get better. Better stereo and power out of the box, since rushmore.

Saw new fairing, CVO mayve, did not like it. Like anything you get used to it. Not hige fan of vent in fairing, because for me it doesn't help. So it just looks bad for nothing,
