Based on that report, everyone should consider the CB.

Maybe Harley should start another company (e.g. Polaris with Victory and Indian) with a different name. They could freely develop and sell bikes with out all the baggage the current company has - and without the styling cues forced upon them. I bet the V-rod engine would do a lot better in a bike chassis that was more friendly to the human form - say a standard and a touring model.
They could even come out with an inline four!

Maybe they should call the company something like "Buell".

It would need to be less focused than Buell, but I do think they messed up when they dumped him. Perhaps there was more to the story behind the scenes.
