Everything we buy today whether it be Harley-Davidson motorcycles or toasters comes to the marketplace as the result of extensive market research. What you see offered is what the survey's say we want. Now the surveys I've seen seem not to be interested in what I think so much as what I think about what they want me to think about. Not to make a pun, but it's Hogwash pure and simple. They make a SEUC every year because the UC is the most popular bagger model in non CVO trim. As noted here, buying a Road Glide Ultra-limited was pretty close to buying a SERG for 2010 so I suspect that sales were down on the 2010 SERG- - maybe not but the point is they have four platforms (frames) FL, FX, XL and V-Rod. Everything rises from those four roots. It doesn't take a genius to see that with such a limited base, there's only so much they can do. Add in the myriad of changes made in 2009 and what's left ? Bottom line is until we see a water buffalo with it's own base frame things are gonna continue as is for some time so long as we keep buying what they offer. You want change ? Quit buying what they offer. Look at the auto industry. People got tired of the Pontiac, Plymouth and Saturn and stopped buying them. Result ? No more Pontiac, Plymouth of Saturn. We hold the power people. Ride what you've got, force the MoCo to change by bringing them to their knees on sales. It's really as simple as that.
