To put the news of out Harley-Davidson into some sort of context and because the MY2019 announcement is just days away \u00a0\u2013 and<\/em> because American-V happens to have a massive library of images and this helps to remind people that we have back issues<\/a>\u00a0and issue 30 covered this announcement \u2013 I thought I’d remind us all what The Motor Company unveiled ten years ago!<\/p>\n

How many can you name? Some are easy, because the designation is enough, but that was necessary so it didn’t look like we had used same bike in different colours.<\/p>\n

How many have you owned?<\/p>\n

How many of these are still in standard trim, ten years on!<\/p>\n

And how long will it take someone to use the failure of the Sportiest Sportster and the Fattest Rod as a good and valid reason why Harley shouldn’t diversify*?<\/p>\n
