Yeah, I'm sure that's where the 'Harley is rubbish' movement came from. From what I've read that was a bad time for them and people never forgot that.
I'm sure the 1200 will be going into the America and Speedy and they could even keep the 865 going and add an America / Speedy 1200 to the range.
They wouldn't be the first manufacturer to have several cc models in the range by keeping the America and Speedy and having cruisers of 865 / 1200 / 1700 / 2300 capacities.
Also they seem to be happy shoving multiple models together. The Tiger and Explorer each has 8 different model variations! And the Bonny? Christ there are 11 variations of the Bonneville name (inc America / Speedy) in one guise or another on the go at the minute so slotting a couple more in won't hurt.
They've bought back the Trophy, Thunderbird and T120 names, maybe dredge up another old name for a new 1200cc bike. How about a new Trident or Adventurer ? Hell, why not the Tina ?!
