It's a smart move in more than one way. Frist, if it is comfortable, it will be used more which ALSO translates to more BRAND EXPOSURE for them. as long as the price stays reachable they might just give Harley a run for the money in the cruiser/bagger department About time the crew started to build something a bit different than the stretched out bike they usually build.

Meaning, Harley, with stock models ranging from $12k-$35k, expects on average $40,000 from your wallet over the lifetime of your purchase. That amount includes the bike purchase, service, parts & accessories. If they had hit you with a bill for $40k at the door to the showroom, well, there'd be a lot less of them on the road. So, this fully custom OCC SR bagger really isn't all that expensive at $30k. These guys have incredible brand exposure, even globally, and that ain't easy to get. I think they'll do well if they can last the slowdown and weak dollar. Then again, sales of luxury products rarely slowdown in recessions. I guess people figure there money is better spent on toys they can enjoy, rather than losing it on the stock market. I'm curious how Vinnie and Cody's new outfit will do.

I especially like the front end, it looks very clean. One thing I thought was interesting is that there are floor boards so you can ride 2-up, but there is no pillion. Maybe it folds out like the Harley Rocker...or maybe she can just sit on the fender! That’s a big bike for sure! I especially like the front end, it looks very clean.
