I bet HD sells a boat load of these entry level bikes!

Especially with them being liquid cooled.

I thought they were going to build the US models in the US. ?

Indian Harleys? No thank you. There is a large market all over the world for these baby Harleys, though, and it's potentially much bigger than for the big boy models.

I think the US models will be built in Nebraska. The overseas models will be built in India. Sorry about the loss of US jobs but financially, it makes sense just to save on shipping thousands of bikes overseas.

HD dealers are going to begin using them for their Rider's Edge courses, since the Buell fleets are getting a bit tired.
I did not see a price point on these, but HD should sell a bunch if priced right. Got a kick out of the fact they are water-cooled like the V-Rods. HD's gradual move over to updating their bikes is going slowly tick-off some of the old-guard.

It's interesting that they show an Oriental, in the picture !! Nothing against them, but they are advertising an American bike, and should be a different rider.

Harley's answer to competing with the new 111" Indian. Now they have their own Indian models.

He is just stating his opinion.
He said nothing against them. I don't see the problem, this politically correct is getting way out of hand.
