Harley Davidson "iCORE"

Some say “if Harley don’t do something different they won’t be around that long” others say “Why should they do something other than what do as it’s what they do best”. I say whatever they do or are doing Harley Davidson could do a lot better in Europe and around the world if they had ago, forget the failure of the 70’s and give a new generation not just something new but a practical alternative in a market that Harley would thrive in. My thoughts of Harley are like most in their range is pretty stereo typed. I looked at the potential of what is, what they have and what they could do. Let’s call it something trendy with longevity “The ICORE”, that’s American enough and would suit the particular market sector. Let’s not tell anyone I’m not American but go with a 1200cc V twin and 130bhp, next let’s give it its own identity, how about giving it a multi tasking ability and a touch of rawness returning back to the roots. There could be an everyday version for the commuter, the little bit else for off roader, and an offer individual difference for the rider. Let’s call it the “ICORE FRONTLINE”. Now they want to tour, do some courier work and own something that does something they don’t want to buy a Goldwing for and is cheaper, how about an “ICORE SUPPORT”. Available in other colours coming soon, but what do you think? Traditional Harley Davidson riders may also want to tell me and I can hear the cocking actions of an M16 now....... .. .. ..    ... .."ahhh".
