Actually, HD has some good tech in its bikes, the idea that they are 40 year old designs is a myth. HD knows what its customers want and gives it to them in a form that they will buy. HD has improved its bikes, but if they get to far from their core market, they wouldn't be as successful.

Not that I've owned any HD, but I got to give them the respect of the success they've earned.

Gaspar, Melchior and Balthasar kicked me out of the band..... they said I didnt fit the image they were trying to project. 

So I went solo.  -Me

This.

Lots of tech in them, they just look archaic.

I'd buy a proper H-D sportbike in a heartbeat if they were so inclined to build one. Until then I'll just keep enjoying my beloved '06 VRSCR.  [Dolph]

Shouldn't this discussion be moved to "Racing & Trackdays"?

Anyway, something just tells me that they don't enjoy seeing EBR being the face of American racing in WSBK.

It should probably go to NMC as it's an April Fools ruse. ;D
