I know how you ride. You are clearly not the masses buying bikes. I don't see it as a shortcoming for a cruiser. Your argument gives up power for corners. Most cruiser buyers don't care to give up the power for the clearance of a America and don't ride like you.
I see our lack of power as a bigger negative than our lean clearance is a positive.
HD is sacrificing the clearance in response to the masses that want the lower bikes.
They ride like me, never exceeding the speed limit under any conditions.
