I agree with most of Todd's comments. I've owned several as well and have a 10 year old RK in the garage now. And it has a carb! Try to find that on a Japanese or German bike! But my distaste for the dealership experience goes beyond moderate. I just don't get it and never will.

But I like the bike for what it is. A big, fat, slow, comfy bike for a relaxing ride. But is that enough to grow the company? I'm in my mid-50's, so my tastes won't mirror younger riders. I also have a sport bike in the stable for carving and just plain adrenalin. I beleive HD needs to diversify and not worry so much about pissing off the ape hanger, skull, fringe crowd. That's not their future. It is their past.
