I would love to see Harley Davidson produce a motorcycle that is something different than their "tried and true" cruiser segment.
I think a Cafe' Racer, or Scrambler type of motorcycle would be a step in the right direction for HD. The author in this article is spot-on in his assessment that HD's lineup is far too one dimensional. It's mind numbing to walk into one of their showrooms and see multiple subtle variations on basically the same bike. To the uninitiated, most HD bikes appear to be formed from essentially the same cookie cutter mold.
As I stated in my earlier post, I really doubt that I would ever own a Harley Davidson bike. However, if HD ever decides to take steps towards producing a bike outside the cruiser segment, I will take the time to at least check one out.
To the folks at HD... you've painted yourself into a corner. Now is the time to realize you have milked the baby boomer generation dry. That market is shrinking and you're not making any products that truly speak to the rest of us.
