Harley Davidson has really no choice but to branch out in directions like this. If they stayed true to their decades old business model and make nothing but large road bikes, they would become as irrelevant that’s Chrysler Dodge. A company that hasn’t made a new automobile in decades.
It was good to see them finally produce a liquid cooled Sportster this year. It is a modern bike in every sense. Now Indian will need to catch up with it's Scout, whose features are no longer quite up to the competition.
If it weren't for the fact that dopey Joe is killing our nation, these would be the MAGA years of spirited competition amongst the manufacturing brands instead of "How can we cut corners (no pun) just to survive?"
