[2wheels1savior]

Harley announced their new street 500 and 750 V-Twin. To me it sounds stupid but it looks good. And it wil be radiated! Here's the link, check it out and let me know what you think. http://www.cycleworld.com/2013/11/0...et-500-and-street-750-revealed-at-eicma-2013/

Haha, I haven't heard it put that way before. I feel most of the Harleys will have water cooling in the future just like how Ducati is doing.

Yeah they look pretty cool actually. Definitely seem to be going after a larger market with this bike.

I prefer metric in large part due to water cooling. My step dad ride a road glide and if he gets stuck in traffic he has to shut it off, it's just a hassle. Glad to see that thy're water cooling their bikes, now if they can get them to stop shaking i might consider one

yeah i think it sounds like a joke. At first I thought the person who told me was joking but it was true.

Judging from their ad campaign they're trying real real hard to grab some of the youth market that's buying their first bike. It seems like the same design as the v rod engine which was designed by Porsche and the best thing Harley ever did. They're probably a good bet I'd say.

Bikes are a luxury to most people over 25 so the market for New bikes are dieing.

I brought a cbr the other day and the said they only sell about 2 new big bikes a month now and over 50 restricted or 125 bikes. The younger market is pretty much untapped so good on them for trying, although insurance would be stupid

I agree about the v rod. But I'm still not a fan of these (I will test ride one when they come out). I ride a Vulcan 900 and it feels under powered so I can't imagine a 500 with roughly the same set up (water cooled v twin cruiser). It seems like they're going more towards buell again. But we will see when summer gets closer. And I am glad to see them branching out more though

As far as insurance goes, in the US, which I am sure more of these new Harley's will be sold, is super cheap. For my 1200 Sportster, I pay about $38/mo for full coverage including medical payments. Cruisers are one of the cheapest bikes to insure, depending on cost of the bike.
