A rather clumsy-looking heavyweight design 50 years out of date? Yes sure, would be a perfect fit with HD.
100 bhp pushrod V four weighing two thirds of a ton? Bit racy for Harley. Sounds like the new Panigale. At least it'll have white-wall tyres and a bouncy seat, that's the main thing.
from the other side of the debate Harley have well and truly fucked up with the 2018 product launch various forums have almost 100% negative feedback, nobody likes the new models If their designers concentrated on building frames instead of designing tee shirts and tank decals they might stand a chance of competing against the other north american heavyweight Indian In the 1980's they built the 1340 FXR (frame designed by Eric Buell) it weighed 551 lbs Its direct modern replacement weighs in at 675lbs And the Lightweight sportster now weighs in at 553lbs All weights obtained from google so they are probably not correct but the over all picture is that they have lost the plot If they get their hands on Ducati best you hang on to the Ducati you already have
You're not wrong. Check em out: http://www.visordown.com/motorcycle-news-new-bikes/what’s-what-2018’s-harley-davidsons Now, we all like to take the mick out of Fartlys but most would admit that even if the whole all-American factory custom concept repels, the bikes have at least usually held together visually, even if its in a slightly camp slobbed out fat-arsed dude-I'm-so-chilled sort of way. But there isn't one amongst this lot that isn't an unspeakable minger. Most look like Japanese fakes designed by a children's comic illustrator. I suppose the second one down, the blue thingie with the white walled tyres is a fairly unadulterated continuation of Harley's traditional gay range but as for those objects with the monkey bike tyres and the oblong lights... Oh deary deary me.
