Meh. Not the first time H-D has tried to cash in on the logo, nor the last. Not even this year... and it's December:upset:
Outsiders will mock them, insiders will ignore them, H-D will still sell an embarrassing amount of $30k CVO's to people looking to buy respect, the Earth will keep spinning on through space.

Calm down. This is not even close to what it "appears" to be. Nothing more than a usage-for-profit trademark allowance.

It "appears to be" H-D is so desperate for profit it is willing to stick it's name on 350cc Chinese ****boxes:disturbed:

Well in China for 2021 there were 21 million motorcycles sold and in India for 2022 there have been 9 million sold so far. That’s about 30 to 1 compared to the USA. Harley would be crazy not to make a bike for that market.

And how many parts on our Buell’s were made in China and Mexico?

I'm not preaching China-Bad/America-good. China and India are not any type of market for a 'real' Harley, and Harley has about zilch to do with the manufacture of this 350cc thing anyway. I disagree with H-D sticking their sticker on something for near sighted profit and negative brand reputation. Again.

HD has been doing that since the Aeromacchi scooter days in the 60's. Selling the brand sticker is nothing new.
