For your assertions to hold water, HD will have to price it at an attainable level. Sounds like you describe mid-tier performance in a market saturated with stunning machines. Not sure I see that as a savvy move, but as you say, time will tell. Perhaps the HD heritage will pull it through, but I wouldn’t bank on that.
That leaves HD with a dilemma. Lower margins and a market perception of “meh” performance reinforced by low pricing (and margins). Or try to foist a mid-tier performer at a high price to appease the finance guys. That model didn’t work so well for the V-rod.
