That motor makes every ride a smile producer." Harley-Davidson Q3 Report The problem with motorcycles is the top range from all brands now costs more than a mid- level automobile. I paid $26K for my Gold Wing, and I could buy a new Accord for less. It's ridiculous to be honest. Brodie Henryson What do you expect when you sell a motorcycle for $30,000 plus? And you can buy the same bike used, low mileage, for a quarter of the price. Freddy Ruppenthal Harley is old news and old school. As the Baby Boomers die out, so will Harley. Don McCaw 20 Years Of The Hayabusa Well written, informative. Even as I close in on 50 years old, I still think about owning one. Matthew Kabbash Awesome bike. Steve Lloyd I got a great buy on the ugly step brother to the Hayabusa, the B-King, which has the sec- ond-generation 'Busa motor and transmission. Who cares if it's ugly? That motor makes every ride a smile producer. Duane Luchsinger Bring back the B-King, but with better styling. Larry Steckler 2020 Indian Challenger I think that this is a good "chal- lenge" not only to Harley, but also to other manufacturers in this market. Indian will steal some customers from the Kawasaki Vaquero, and maybe even some from the Honda Gold Wing with this liquid- cooled engine. The classic lines with mod- ern technology provide a good combination that will net Indian Motorcycle a larger share of the market, and a firm footing for years to come. Richard Wheeler Good on Indian. I am in the market for a bagger, and will take a hard look at this one. At some point in time people have to drop the tired "copying Harley." They are pushing new tech and improved perfor- mance. I have been looking at Harley, no bias, but for obvious reasons, for the same price point, this one has my interest. Vince Lowell
