Soren,
Well GEEZ you d*mn Mossback! I SAID I wuz a sloooooow reeeeeader!
But I TOTAL AGREE with you on the subject about the apparent lack of "respect" per se, this "americanized model" garners within EVEN it's own company and it's sphere. There has always seemed a somewhat embarassment attached to Hinckley's mindset about "stooping" to make a cruiser.
What many people laboring in that Midlands factory AND many a rider and motorcycle magazine editor in Ol' Blighty have NEVER SEEMED TO LEARN is that America IS the largest "High-end" motorcycle market in the world, AND just because your product isn't the lastest, greatest, FASTEST and most Hi-tech wonder on the planet, DOESN'T make it "inferior"!
Cheers,
Dwight
