Well, at least Harley maintains the traditional aspect of its bikes, like I doubt the look of the tank would have changed on the Speedmaster and America, nor would the badges have been cheapened ( on the Bonneville, the America, and Speedmaster, they are now glued on, and I think they may be non replaceable, but they are plastic and cheap). HD does have nice fit and finish, real nice chrome bits.
The product I have I love, so any sale wouldnt affect my feelings to my bike, and for the future, it would be about the company is run and the products are advanced.
It would be a odd blending of cultures though.
