The future of Harley-Davidson
#27
(09-23-2019, 04:26 AM)Stichill_imp Wrote: A marketing angle for Harley could be to tap into the idea of making stylish throwback motorcycles out of metal, i.e. targeted toward the hipster crowd. Guys that want to ride a classic-looking steed, but who don't know how to wrench and don't have an $18,000 budget. What could be done in the 800-1000cc class for $9,000? Make the bike look as cool as possible while still being comfortable. I'm thinking something in the direction of the Musket V-Twin.

The Guzzi small blocks meet much of your request. It would be nice if they had a large dealer network in the US. Maybe they should team up with HD.

It wouldn't be the first time Harley brand labeled Italian iron. Thinking back to the Aermacchi/HD 250 and 350 Sprints of the 1960s.
