Confused? You Should Be!

What a way to blow your brains out!

 

I agree.
Once upon a time it was just the “Bonneville”, but now it has 101 derivatives.
As you say, all looking pretty much the same but with different names and numbers.
Very confusing.

 

Well they weren’t counting on you figuring that out . Harley has been just changing letters around for 80 years and no one has been able to realize that it’s the same bike.

 

Same with Indian. Two bikes, and a thousand variations.

If I had to guess, I'd say they're doing it purely for the U.S. market. The hipster vibe may be the only thing that carries the biker community forward, over here. Guys like me who are old, redneck, veteran, politically incorrect bikers are aging rapidly. If it takes the hipsters to keep motorcycling alive, well, I guess that's what it takes. In my opinion, Harley Davidson is finally paying the price for producing such an inferior product for so many years (I'm a former Harley owner). I have nothing against HD, they're American made and I'm proud of them, but I think their chickens have come home to roost. Maybe Triumph and Indian will fill the void. Just my two cents.

 

To each his own. I really like my Street Twin. And importantly the cast wheels.
The only bike I don't really like is the Bobber. I have some friends that say it is uncomfortable to ride. But the rest if the bikes are popular. That is why Triumph is building them. It makes them money.

Scramblers are also popular. Ducati has them too. The style just sells !!

 

I’ve noticed that women do find the Bobber uncomfortable.
