Hey,
I don’t know how I feel about this announcement. My first Harley was a new 1969 XLCH Sportster. Sportsters are the longest running model, 64 years, and basically the new Indian Chief is a knockoff of the classic Sportster design.
I made a suggestion to the Harley boss that they devote a model to the working man who wants to work on his bike. They could design the bike after early Harleys. Make them easy to work on and modify and then design a line of custom parts for that model.
The first Sportster was built in 1957, after the K Model set the chassis design stage. It’s one of the longest running production models on the planet with over 5,000 variations. It’s still a very sharp looking motorcycle and deserves to stay in the mix.
