Still got that VROD?

Necro from 8 years back

Cause lazy to start a new tered.

Mana all the Harley owners.

I guess with the introduction of the new revolution engines.. finally there's "old" Harleys.

Prior to that all Harley's were old. Thus, no distinction between old and new. The 80s one and the latest one was the same thing.

Same air cooled V Twin… what’s diff between 80s and the last 2020s… putting a lipstick on a pig… it’s still a pig.

I’m a lousy rider. Gaya saja macam yes. Don’t spend enough time practicing or doing drills. Nothing to learn from me.

The X isn’t cheap, compared to the donor bike. If they are able to make the touch points feel expensive and like real 1HD Harley’s then they have a winner.

The Cina Harley does look the part. They should really sell it to tackle the lower price point buyers.

RE is making a killing with the 350.

Haha the RE 350 with its air cooled engine. Y suku will fly by. But people riding it is all about the classic, nostalgia, the “OG”. I like the storied history and background, so long as we keep in mind it’s price point and try not to look too hard when it’s parked next to a Triumph that’s more than 2 times the price.

Which is what the Harley brand is all about. But sadly there’s no entry level Harley to fill the gap. This Cina bike would serve to bring people into the brand - because they can actually afford it.

Love it or hate it, Harley forms a big part of motorcycling culture, and almost have a stranglehold on the big cruiser segment - and nothing else.

Before I rode bikes, I always felt Harleys are stupid. Obnoxious, loud and slow. Metrics would easily fly by at a fraction of the cost. Today, they are still obnoxious, loud and slow - excluding the new liquid cooled Sportster S and Pan Am.

But I’ve grown to appreciate certain aspects of it. Like how solid it is build, and how grounded the bike feels despite its fat weight. And sometimes the experience of riding the real thing versus spec on paper really throws your expectations off.

I think if anyone is into motorcycles as a hobby should at least own or experience an air cooled Harley at least once. To make your exposure more well rounded.
