Was that during the AMF years? LOL. "What are we going to make today guys? Bowling balls or bikes?"
Oh, I agree, look at Kia. But I'm not gonna jump up and down about this bike. Although, if they do get it right the U.S. bikes are gonna....oh wait, that is already happening. I pour over Cycle World and Motorcyclist magazines all day. It's been quite a while since I have seen a really good U.S. bike come out. The Victories are doing ok, but most are foreign. A production chopper is a good idea, but as we've seen (OCC, Jesse James...) no one wants to spend $80,000+ on a bike. I'm sure in time they will become more popular. Look at the XS's. Who would have thought, 20 years ago, of the cult following and customs people are making out of them. And parts aren't so damn expensive 'cuz someboby drew a H-D on it.
