Sagebrush posted:That thing with the flag on it is the rear suspension damper, right? And does it actually extend when the rear wheel hits a bump? Crazy. I believe thats the rear shock, and the spring doesnt expand, it contracts like a normal shock, it just sort of works backwards from a normal shock

If you're going to do anything to it, put a bigger headlight on it. That tiny light with all that gap between it and the forks looks weird. Other than that, awesome bike, enjoy it

The one bike that had some decent crossover appeal to the non-harley crowd, they axe without advertising it. There isnt an big enoughI live in Milwaukee, and this poo poo makes me so drat mad, because I really want to root for them, but they keep pulling the dumbest moves.

No, because it was advertising to the type of people who were already into the XR enough to watch a race series based around it. Also lmao if you think any decent amount of people in the US even know what an AMA series is, or where to watch one (hint: its 3AM on speed channel after 22 hours of nascar is done) I meant actual advertising. Print, TV, things that will hit millions of people, not the pocket of people that dont need to be advertised to because they already like the XR.

I know all of the stupid reasoning, its just so drat frustrating to see a local company that has a huge influence around here just piss away opportunities to garner a fanbase beyond their aging current one. At least EBR is still in the state.

They do print and billboard ads, at least in Milwaukee, although we may be different than other cities for obvious reasons.

Gay Nudist Dad posted:But are they actually model-specific, like Its mostly brand-based advertising, not bike-specific, although certain bikes will be featured in them. n8r posted:Harley updates their bikes - they're just restricted as hell as to what they can do because their buyers like "classic" Harleys. They're pretty drat good at what they do though. This. People dont give Harley enough credit for the things they do well. That EPA spreadsheet posted in one of the other threads reveals that HD is one of the only manufacturer with a full lineup of fuel injected bikes. Let that sink in. Harley is the manufacturer using the most up to date fueling techniques. They make really good bikes, as good as the Japanese or anyone else, they just dont know how to market them, despite knowing how to market the poo poo out of "the brand", and they dont know how to break away from their classic line without pissing off their fanbase, or having it be a half-hearted attempt (see XR1200R)

Imagine having to brake hard, or make a sudden movement, or ride for further than 10 miles/minutes, imagine how bad your hands would fall asleep and get cold even in like 90 degree weather. That thing may as well be a parade float

Schlieren posted:As winter descends, the Harley thread grows quiet... It was 31 degrees F this morning as I left for work on my DRZ. The only other bike I saw on the way was a Harley oddly enough. With no helmet. Holy gently caress. I had my bar mitts on, warm gloves, a warm jacket, a balaclava, full face helmet, etc and I was still freezing.

I guess. I often forget that I am in Milwaukee, epicenter of national Harley excitement, so they hold their value a bit more here.

Raven457 posted:Is it common for a Harley to have that little mileage on it? I mean, that's only averages out to about 1900 miles a year. In any case, it looks good, congrats on your new bike With 26K he'll probably have the Harley museum calling him wanting to put it on display. Really though Harleys either have a billion miles on them or they have like 300 miles, it seems the inbetweeners are the oddballs around here.
