Yes, they were bought out by then but the development of the EVO took 7 years. Released in 1984 it began with engineering drawings in 1977 financed by AMF. Just like the Softtail frame. Both became huge successes for HD but they began under AMF.
Credit must also be given to the employees that bought back HD for following through with the designs. Too bad about the NOVA engine because I think that might have really been an innovation that would have moved HD into some nice modern design. All the same, their sales numbers speak for themselves.
Like Mike, I want to see the new Indian. I really hope they succeed, too. And, I really, really want it to be affordable. Because. I. Want. One.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)
