Quote: You have to give Harley credit for selling so many engines with that p*** poor / ancient engine design.
Yup, those terrible antiquey engines are really bad for business, they last way too long. They should be more like the Japanese made clones and fall apart so badly as to resist rebuilding in 5 years.
I spent some time Sunday with three premium level Harleys. I have to say, the quality and design in those Harleys I saw is outstanding. They reminded me of the grace and quality level of one of my favorites - the 50s & 60s Cadillacs, with no scrimping on the quality, and no forms that begged the question, "what were they thinking when they designed that" which is what I found with certain Triumph parts, (namely the Triumph Speedmaster crash bars, and heel & toe shifters.)
I retract the negative comments I made about the Harley brand. It was due to my ignorance.
