HD's New Slogan: "Yesterday's technology for tomorrow's prices!"

You do.

I was going to point that out, but prefered to see the rest of the trainwreck.

He is retiring, he just sold the OMRL bike now this, rumor on the street is that the other bike in the garage is a Honda Goldwing! Blitz, I might be able to help you out, shoot me a PM when you know dates and details and we can go from there.

My guess is the CFO is mandating the sale. "Look honey, I posted it for a month and no bites. I'm keeping it."

I'll admit that my first two bikes (cruisers) were Japanese because they offered the best bang for my buck - I didn't buy them because they had better styling than HD - I still think most HDs look sharp as hell, especially the white Road Kings. Had HD offered a comparable model at a competitive price, I very well could have gone that route, but I didn't want to lay down 5 figures on a hobby I might not stick with. They turned out to be two great decisions. Then I stepped into light off-road riding and there was nothing remotely available from HD, not even a light scrambler, and by then I was jaded by a general sense of HD snobbishness and asshattery anyway. For what they are, I think HDs are fine bikes and I don't malign anyone who owns one unless their attitude sucks, but that's a person problem, not a bike problem. They just don't make a model I want to spend (way too much) cash on.

Hog wash, the Kawasaki cruisers are going 200K+ with no major issues. I am not a Harley hater, they make great bikes but they don't go 200k without multiple major engine repairs/rebuilds. Especially the upper end. And the Honda's are better than the Kaw's. And WTF, my Kawasaki just had a recall, how come we don't get a hate thread about us. Feeling a little left out here.

Or put your feet on the stack of magazines you used to read before smart phones.

Pushing the envelope...they are still 40 years behind Japan and Europe!

I don't think this is anything new to a manufacturer that puts out a redesigned series of bikes (Rushmore). And I would bet that HD expected this to some degree. I was one of the guinea pigs to Fords new Sync system and that was a nightmare. Two years later I bought another Ford with the same system and it works great. I own an HD Rushmore (2014) and I love it. I wouldn't have considered an HD prior to the upgrades.So I commend HD for pushing their own envelope to produce a more current technology product. Until something really bad happens (engine failure) due to the newer models, I'll remain a happy customer to HD.
