See, that is what I don't get. Harleys used to look cooler than metric bikes, but the new Kawasakis, Suzukis, etc, all look cooler to me than anything Harley makes, with the possible exception of the VRod. Twice the bike, half the cash.
I am surprised that HD isn't out of business.
I have been looking at the Hyosung GV650. I hope they sell a billion of them and light a fire under the other manufacturers to get that stuff in gear.
My real belief, after thinking about it, is that these features don't exist because if they did, they would cannibalize the sales of bigger, more expensive, higher margin bikes. Big huge bikes people don't need.
