Agree. HD missed opportunity.

mark:
Once again the largest domestic motorcycle company is following, not leading.

mgallagher:
Harley did do that and killed Alta after they took all of the technology Alta built a motocross  bike that was as fast as current Honda and KTM 250 race bikes. Harley. is not a little dumb but a lot dumb. Does anyone  think the live wire is profitable or a cheaper version will be made that is profitable. Not they have the shoe who championed the bike and the frozen chicken ladies steering the ship

DOCGSS:
Actually this is the second go round for Polaris "teaming up" with electric manufacturers as they did with Brammo. I for one am glad HD developed their own electric bike as it is generally considered the best in class currently. Sales does not determine the best platform. At least HD is original while Polaris reminds me of the Chinese corporate mentality. For the life of me I do not understand why this forum has become a Harley haters trolling ground. No one forces anyone to buy a product from HD. If someone does not like a company, why not simple buy a product you do like. It is interesting that so many feel they are the corporate wizards that have the magic formula for HDs success if they would only listen. No company of HDs size is easy. What is the magic formula for the magazine industry. Markets give significant challenges.
