I put about 5k on Honda vt500,.. and it was a fantastic little motor...
Nice sound,.. good pull, it would do 105mph tops, and the 6th gear was a real OD (it dropped rpm's to a purr at 80)...
The styling was very "Jap chopper", and it felt that way... I never felt anything but geeky on it... but, it looks like Harley fixed that...(one thing Harely does pretty good, is make bikes that aren't geeky looking)...
So,.. it actually could be a darn good line of bikes...
I'm just not sure the HD crowd will accept them as real Harleys...
A 500 air-cooled single (which they already have a motor for, would have sold like hot cakes)...
The Blast motor was pretty good,... but the styling on that thing was as bad an imitation of sport bike, as 80's Jap bikes were of Harleys...
I just can't understand why I'm not the CEO of something... I'm so much smarter than most of them...
They could at least ask me first...
...
I'd hire out as a corporate consultant for a flat million per job...

Pass the word...
