The change at Harley was featured in Time magazine a while back. I'd like to test ride one. I have a Pontiac and a Buick in my driveway, but all Hondas in my garage. Why? I've always said that small, quiet, cheap, and reliable trumps heavy, loud, expensive, and unreliable every time. If Harley actually made a bike that rivaled my Hondas, what would I do? If I bought a small Harley, would I have to get a half-helmet, ride in a wife-beater muscle shirt, and have an American flag fluttering on the back of it? This leopard just couldn't change his spots.
And I'll just add one inconsequential comment. Having the gas cap offset like that could make it less likely to have strong pumps flip gas back out and onto the tank, but the offset is to the right. I always gas up with the pump on my left, undoubtedly because that's where the filler tube in on my cars - force of habit. Harley seems to think that I should be approaching with the pump on my right. Hmm, maybe I should, being right-handed and all. But if I were on one of these, I would probably end up crossing the gas tank with the nozzle. Those durn spots... And Kurt, I was impressed that you knew about the earth mover market until you went and ruined it... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
