Sad

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.

HD: Kills Buell to avoid another brand "embarrassing" them by being successful with the brand.

Also HD: Slaps HD logo on Chinese 350s

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.

 

[DamMechanic]

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

 

[Cooter]

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.

Plenty.

 

[Outlaw]

China is bad. USA is good

 

[Jabari]

Blasphemy, even if it's just slapping a label on it.

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