I gotta agree with Munch…I absolutely, wholeheartedly disagree with the author’s assertation, and find it somewhat offensive. If I were a rider of Harley Davidsons, I’d REALLY find this knuckle head (pun intended) offensive!
There is nothing but pure conjecture in the entire article. It’s just one man’s (ill informed) opinion. I find HD’s interesting machines from an engineering stand point. If anyone knows anything about radial aircraft engines, then they probably find HD’s rather appealing. The have a strong tie-back to their early heritage, and I understand why people find this so appealing. Besides, on of Ducati’s BEST SELLING engine models…is based on a 1980 model. In fact, I’m pretty sure the barrels, heads and lower end all interchange. How about that for “paying much and getting little”.
I just don’t see the reason for the drivel here. Leave the BS that some ignoramous posts on another site…on the other site.
