Actually as far as I am concerned Hardley stopped making motorcycles after the shovelhead.



Now, everyone knows that Harleys became gurly bikes when the Duoglide came out in '58.

Maybe I'm just stuck in my ways, but I grew up in the days when any bike with enough room for throw over bags and a big enough tank to make it between towns without running out of fuel was a tour bike. The difference between a cruiser and a dresser was all in the accessories. All that stuff you get today, automatic throttle control, radio, heater, etc etc is of no use to me. I like to hear the sound of my motorcycle and I like to work it, not strap on a lid with built in surround sound and watch the bike run itself.
