I went to a HD dealership recently and saw one. Sales guy tried to tout the XR over Buell bikes and I laughed in his face. He asked why I didn't like Harleys. I told him I liked rideability and performance and no Harley could compare to Buell in those areas. Not only are the top guys at HD drinking the cool aid but also the sales guys at the dealerships. I hate to see an American icon like HD be ruined by a few stupid people at the top.

I agree, I think the current CEO would be more aroused at the prospect of a new Chrome plating shop in an Indian ghetto than a better cylinder head or an improved braking system. It is not that they are bad folks, it is just that they have no passion or sense of history.
