Harley might attract motorcycle enthusiasts with that but they don't buy new bikes every year.

New models means new bolt-on shineys means new business. It's getting a bit like the Japs where stuff from one year won't fit the next.

I'l be sticking with my '90 Fatboy and '92 Dyna and be looking long and hard for an early springer.

I like the trikes, as you get older some of us may benefit from that extra wheel, give it a few years and one of those will find its way into the garage.

Harley must be struggling to meet the ongoing legisation it can only be a matter of time before they have to give up the fight with air cooled engines, and just like Porsche hopefully enter into a new era of watercooled engines.

Whether or not the the diehards will buy them doesn't seem to matter they are getting new converts every year buying into a life style.

The bikes are still reasonably priced when compare to nearly 20 years ago my first Harley in 1990 was an Ultraclassic which after discount was £10500, my 92 Dyna was £9389 before accessories,my 94 RoadKing was £11005 before accessories, that was when money really meant something and thats before you junked everything to make it go and stop properly.


ride safe

I like that, very nice.

It looks as though they're making some serious cutbacks over there, and it shows with the 2010 range !

Not only have they dropped the Road King Standard, there isn't a single "FXST" model in the Softail range now that both the Night Train and Custom have been dropped.

Interestingly - we in the UK will still be able to get the Electraglide Standard whereas it's been dropped from the US.

Also - noticed that the range of colours available has been reduced with no two-tone options on some models.

Perhaps next year we'll have more choice ..........
