Lets not turn this into another Harley bashing thread, new Harley bikes are very very good, just like all the other new bikes... I believe that the fossil remark was off base, most of us older riders have memories and fondness for the older bikes because we grew up with them. Younger people will feel the same way about their 2015 bike when the 2045's come out. We all tend to fixate on what we remember from our youth, the kids are too young to figure that out, but don't worry give them 20 or 30 years, they will learn.
