Harley's customer(whatever/whoever) that is DIDN'T buy Buell's. Now you and I might appreciate what a Buell is or could do but take the 1200r orange "performance" bike. Looked like the famed flat track bikes and is what a Sportster should be. Nobody bought it. Just like Buell's. You know the rest of the story. A Harley is a Harley....otherwise buy a Honda or some such. And that's what people do. Can Harley keep afloat with 100 year old technology? Probably not. Price is what hurts Harley. I'm talking the $20k plus price point. I could buy a new Harley. I won't. I can buy the same basic used big twin for around $5k(Fatboys, older Road Kings etc.). Think about it, a younger person paying $20-$30k for a 60 h.p. 700lb vibrating tub of lard? Nope.</p></blockquote><p></p>
