Harley has been focused on stockholders and not it's customer base for several decades. Nothing happening here that I'm surprised about.
Harley style and technology advancement has been stagnet for a few years, the paint schemes just haven't been saying anything.
The MoCo hasn't been listening to it's customer base and it appears they've run in to a wall. My 2013 CVO Ultra Classic is paid for and it runs just fine. Left Sacramento yesterday, in Ely, Nev. today and in Grand Junction, Colo. by tomorrow.......no reason to look at a new bike. Just nothing exciting coming out of the MoCo.
The new BMW B model and the Grand America model are both very, very promising. I've taken both for extended test rides in the Sturgis/Black Hills area and technology wise are light years ahead of HD and these two new models of BMW are not hard to look at.
