Young, obviously, but just SOA fans? Remember which came first.

Very fair point.

Let's try to keep this forum positive, okay guys? If y'all really hate the new HD so much, ride your scooter over to a local Harley dealership and tell off all the big burly bikers there, instead of mouthing off here, okay?

Personally I think that there is a market for both the Harley and the Honda automatic in this country. Once they are introduced to the American market time will determine the success of each but I believe that sales figures will be meaningful in either case.

And as much as we love our scooters - any respectable scooter company would die to have some decent fraction
of the U.S. sales figures of Honda motorcycles or even Harleys.

Harley made small bikes in the past so I don't think the Street 500 and 750 will dilute their heritage appeal much. When I took the MSF course about a year ago, half of my class already had a HD or planned to buy one.
I went to see the Capt America movie, but was disappointed that the Street 750 wasn't in the movie that much.
I wouldn't have a problem riding one of these HD Hummers.
