I though this was New bikes? and you included all the tired HD’s………. Seriously
Well, Ed, it’s obvious you haven’t ridden a new Milwaukee-Eight powered Harley-Davidson and, therefore, don’t know what you’re talking about. Seriously.
Well Greg, it’s obvious you know only HD. Milwaukee 8 which means 4 valves per cylinder it’s something that Japanese manufactures have applied in their bikes since early 80s. It took HD almost 40 years, but I guess it’s a Harley thing, as any harley person would Say.
I owned many motorcycle brands and unfortunately few months ago after trying ALL HD models to sayisfy my wife’s low seat requirements I purchased a 2017 fat boy s. The touring models out of questions since they felt like riding my jet ski. My first and last HD product I ever bought unless HD produces something up to date with safety features and better performance. Changing color themes annually won’t cut it for me.
I concider myself an enthusiastic motorcyclist and not a brand loyalist.
I rode a 2014 Street Bob for the last 3 years. The Milwaukee 8 claims to give 10% more power. I just traded in the Street Bob for a 2016 Rocket 3 producing 150hp/150 lbs of torque at the wheel. Milwaukee 8 can go shuffle itself into a depression dug grave. Sorry, HD is simply stuck in the past and got out-powered by not only the Brits but also the Japanese. Nostalgia will only get you so far. Stock my new bike will smoke anything MODIFIED in the HD inventory.
Well, I’d like to see the Yamaha Star Venture without all the upgrades/accessories/gewgaws and have it just as a standard. Actually, I’d like the Road King that way, too.
I’d like Harley or Yamaha to offer a touring model with a modern V-4.
I’d like Suzuki to update the Bandit 1250 with cruise control, shift indicator, self-cancelling indicators, heated grips and full analogue gauges – most of those features were standard on the 1983 GS1100E – and maybe 25 more horsepower, but still keep it a 1250FA Bandit.
So, on the topic of the Kawi’s, I’d love to see an X-1000 …
Cruiser wise (my current ride) I’d love a Kawi Vulcan S 1200 (had the 650, truly brilliant bike), or some Japanese power cruiser with a modern-retro mashup in the looks department.
How I wish Honda would bring back the Varadero with availability here in the states.
