The Harley Davidson thread

Watching this company flail about trying to stay relevant is very interesting. They have an adventure bike coming. Check it out.



And their electric bike


A "streetfighter". Ducati and KTM killer!


Thoughts? http://www.foxnews.com/auto/2018/07...-adventure-and-streetfighter-motorcycles.html

 

A little behind the 8 ball but interesting.

 

Maybe we should just put this in the "things that will cease to exist in our lifetime" thread?

 

That adventure bike is as ugly as a giant bag of assholes. The electric could be fun. I actually dig the look the the street fighter based on that pic.

 

This has to be an April Fools thing.

 

The street fighter looks like a Buell.

 

The Harley ADV Bike marketing committee released this " For those individuals that want to break down in the middle of nowhere......"

 

That ADV bike looks like it's made out Legos

 

"Have you ever dreamed of taking a 800lb motorcycle off any sweet jumps"

" Make the chipmunks run away in fear when they hear your loud pipes cresting through the trails"

 

How much do you think that Adv bike weighs? I'm thinking same as a Fiat. I actually like it. Looks like a transformer. I like the Streetfighter too. Wonder if the new engine can deliver.

 

You know Eric Buell has to be sitting there right now going...WTF!

 

Trying........so hard...........to give a damn!!!

(Sigh)

I tried but I just couldn’t.

 

Harley needs my high school Drivers Ed teacher. He used to take a clipboard and hold it horizontally under the nose of whomever was driving, to force people to look further down the road. Clearly Harley has grown accustomed to just watching the speedo.

 

I knew I'd seen that bike before.

 

That adv bike reminds me of the paint-bot from Wall-E

 

Oh, and these bikes still look like they all weigh a ton, but that streetfighter could be interesting with a good full exhaust on it.

MSRP's as follows (speculative):
ADV = 19.5K
e-bike = 21K
streetfighter = 19K

 

Didn't Victory make the 8 ball?

 

How can you have an electric Harley? Silence is the opposite of the desired effect.
