arley-Davidson is one of
the most polarizing brands
I've ever seen. Not just in
motorcycles—anywhere. Its
brand recognition is something
to behold, a recognized and
revered symbol of freedom and
God Bless America rolling with
a thunderous V-twin. Harley-
Davidson's simplicity and at
times near-ancient technology
is precisely the reason so many
love and hate the Bar and Shield
in equal measure. My dad, for
one, wouldn't be seen dead in
a Harley shop. And for years I
have to admit to a certain un-
founded and ultimately shameful
prejudice towards the marque.
I certainly didn't get what every-
one loved about H-D.
HARLEY-DAVIDSON HAS LOOKED INTO ITS
PAST FOR THE INSPIRATION TO MAKE WHAT IS
POSSIBLY THE BEST NEW BIKE IN ITS LINE-UP
