    New motors and chassis from HD for 2017

    Harley is finally attempting to wake up to the 21st century and is introducing a new 107/114" motor for 2017...Also many changes to the suspension and forks are coming next year according to an article in CycleWorld and the internet...Better watch out for good deals on used HD's soon, if you care, as the market will be flooded with out-dated HD's as the "good ole boys" will be looking to update their "HOG" for the newer, supposedly faster motor...Who knows what evil lies in the heart of men!!!!!....Ride safe

    Why would the typical pirate swap to some new fangled motor? Don't see many pirates that bought off on the Porsche HD. They'll stick with the rumbler.....it's cool, it's old fashioned.

    In ALL ofl my years of motorcycling, I have NEVER ridden a Harley Davidson. I've sat on one several times at dealers but that's it... I just don't feel the attraction.

    Is there something wrong with me?

    This is true. My lifetime experiences are not an absolute.

    I had about a 5 mile ride on my cousins Anniversary Road King! I was never so glad to remove myself from a bike! Never again

    I have owned (2) Harley's, a '85 Wide Glide and a '91 customized Fl w/a 127 ci engine and 5 speed. I loved both of them at the time and now I have a Black F6b and I love it. I still suffer at times w/Harleyitus, wanting the Vtwin look and rumble, but I love my 6.

    Cool

    You guys are killin me !!! I look at bikes like I do women. At least in my younger days I rode as many as I could, skinny, fat, short or tall, every bike did something the other did not and all of them were great! You guys need to open your minds ....Just sayin......
