That's the whole point of the Street 500, 750 and Street Rod.

Whether that's enough and if the dealerships will actually try to sell them and not stuff them in the back corner like they did with the Buell and V-Rod we will have to wait and see.

My problem with Harley (and I ride one) is that their new bikes are just too stinking expensive. I can buy a brand new leftover Kawasaki Vaquero 2016 model for $11,000. A comparable 2017 Street Glide or Road Glide is $23,000

Tough to justify the Harley name at those prices.
