dcast episode 43. We discuss the Top 3 H-D motorcycles we would like to see go out of the current lineup. Update on both the Michelin Commander III Cruising tires and the Shinko 777 we are running on…
Big ZHostWe are going to talk about, and I know this is going to be controversial for some people that never like to see things go away, but we've been kicking it around, and we're going to talk about three bikes in the current Harley-Davidson lineup that we think could go away.
And probably wouldn't hurt our feelings if they did.
Not because we're against the bikes.
It's just when you look at business moves, things have got to change in some ways.
So make sure you're checking out our past episodes because last time we did an episode, we did our top five models we would love to see Harley bring back.
So we're not about... getting rid of things just to get rid of them.
We also talk about ideas like when we like our certain favorite things that come back.
But Harley-Davidson is a corporation.
It's a business.
Things have to make sense.
And there are changes on the horizon.
So you just have to think about the possibility of some bikes going away.
So for the sake of this debate, I looked at it as...
Again, three bikes in the current Harley-Davidson lineup for 2026 that I personally wouldn't care if they went away.
Some of it's going to be business decision.
You look up units sold and things like that.
Feel free to look around.
I want you to give us your feedback on this.
If you think you don't want to see models go away, we'll entertain that.
But if you have models you think could go away in the Harley lineup, that just spurs conversation.
We want to know that.
I'm still waiting on you guys to hit us up with all your five bikes you'd like to see brought back.
So yeah, if you comment on last episode, we keep track of that and we'll always bring it forward.
So we broke this up into sport adventure category, which would be the Revolution Max motor.
And then we went to cruiser category.
