What is Harley upt to now?

[strmvt]

June issue of Motorcyclist has an article about Harley's "Entry-level Bike to replace the Blast." I cannot get the link to work to the online article says it's to long. but google "Will Harley-Davidson outsource motorcycle production to India" it's the second Link dated Apr 6 '11

Looks like an attempt to start replacing the Buell line up after they realized they have had their heads up their ass's this whole time.

I'm curious to see what they come up with to replace the XBs and 1125, just for the laugh.

They cannot replace XB's and nor do I think they will try. From what iv seen/heard its gunna be more on the line of a 500cc cruiser that super lightweight for beginners. I imagine a blast engine in a more hardley image.

 

[anrkizm95]

a baby superlow with 29 hp instead of 49?

 

[dmp0001]

isnt the 800 sportster sad enough to be an entry bike?

 

[upthemaiden]

They'll start slapping HD logos on some Honda Rebels.

The only beginner bike we need to get in this country is that KTM Duke 125. I drool over that bike on a regular basis. I'd rather have that bike than just about any 500 out there and that's from someone with more than enough experience who doesn't need a beginner bike, just knows a fun bike when he sees one!

For those who aren't old enough to remember the last time Harley tried this:

(aermacchi, remember?)

 

[njdevils1990]

haha wtf? is that a 75cc motor?

I heard HD was going to start doing some production IN India.

Not to worry, HD won't make anything even remotely comparable to the XB, the current CEO hates sport bikes. The entry level bike will be laughable at best. All they are trying to sell now is douchebag clothes and the douchebag lifestyle. F HD.
