Honda going after a part of CVO pie
« on: May 06, 2014, 09:17:59 AM »

Studies made by the R&D unit of Honda Motor Co have shown that Harley Davidson has made large profits by grossly overcharging  for its line of Custom Vehicle Operations branded motorcycles. In an attempt to spear into these profits, Honda has announced their own line,  Radical Operation Division, ent. The new division will be know as RODENT. It was noted that the Screaming Eagle LoGo had became very popular and Honda Motor Co will try the proven success of a flaming LoGo.

Yeah, you get the 1800cc (110 in.) motor, but they're missing out on profits because you don't have to fix them.  You don't need the extended warranty.  And, you get over 100 horse to the back wheel without new cams, pipes, head work, etc.  :P

Now you've done it.  We will have to read a bunch of crap again about how Harley has "soul" and Honda does not.  I like to ask Harley folks who throw that BS out how far that "soul" will get them down the road when the mechanical stuff fails.
