I think HD has dug themselves a hole too. I think the HD name alone will hurt then in any market except the cruiser market. They have worked hard to develop a reputation for undependable cruisers so who is going to want an undependablen adventure bike? (dependable or not) 99 out of 100 Harleys ever made are still on the road today, the other one made it home.

I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
