Any plans on shoving a Golf R motor in there and calling it the Ragnarok?

I think you meant "time capsule". 

hi, Xennial here formerly gen Y, HD had its shot when I was a Buell customer.

In CA I got waves from all bikes. In CO the only harley guys that wave are on trikes. And no one should be waving at a trike.

I’m getting so tired of every time people bring up HD someone has to chip in “Too bad they killed off Buell!”

One thing not mentioned that’s come up before: the dealer network.

Urban millennial here, who is actually interested in buying a premium motorcycle in the next few years: Harleys are tainted in our demographic.

Hard to tell a poop, from a crap, from a dump because they’re all shit. 

Wow, that’s like 1 million percent more attractive than any of those future Harleys. 

6 months later, I know, I know. But funny you mention the 1200 Mamma Monster. I test rode one of those back... 3 years ago? Fun machine! Sounds like the GP is in town. But I wound up getting a Guzzi because the Monster just felt ... like a caged animal, you had to be careful on the throttle or it would just .. break…

Go easy on him or they’ll swear off motorcycle content forever... haha

You just needed more zen, obviously.

You’re calling desmo valves “50's technology” but consider valve springs to be modern? You compare two things, but assume that only one of them has made any advancement in the last 60+ years?

Why would automakers even go along with the rollback? Gotta figure the next time a Democrat is President, which could be as early as 2020, the standards would just come back anyway, so might as well operate under that assumption.

I think you mean “Russian military”. Increased oil prices mean Putin has more money to spend on his military.

“Bloomberg says that the EPA and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are expected to argue the proposed rollback and revocation of California’s waiver will “reduce traffic fatalities by making it cheaper for drivers to replace older, less-safe cars, while paring sticker prices for new vehicles even if…

Trump’s roll-back brought to you by Russian Oil Czars and OPEC... because when it happens, embargo and $5-7 per gallon is a wonderful thing for those folks.

The whole thing seems kind of silly.
