Yep article is a year old.
My G/F rode HD's for several decades. Her last HD was a "SwitchBack" terrible brakes, rough ride, top heavy, in the shop several times.
Indian was giving big $$ on HD's trade in's. She bit on a Scout. She loves it, rides it hard, it handles great, no warranty issues, no problems at all. She dropped some serious $$$ to "make it hers", it looks "special" she's done a great job with it.
I had a new '16 Chief, rode it 500-600 miles, then test rode a "B." Brought a great used '13 "B" from a forum member. The Chief had to go. Only lost $1,000 on it. Rest is history.
