Understood and I mentioned the V-Rod as being the only forward innovation (other than buell) in a number of years. Too bad Harley didn't even design most of the VRSC (the engine anyway).
This point is completely valid and makes perfect sense. I agree.
Hope you're right.

Screamin' Eagle Road King and Ultra Classic Electriglide's both have throttle by wire for '08... It'll trickle down to the other models within the next couple years.
Who gives a fuck if HD designed the VROD engine or not?... What does that have to do with anything? They don't build race engines, are not setting out to do so, so they contract out someone who knows the technology better... Why spend the money on R&D when someone's already done the legwork for you? Pay them, use their technology, and make money. Win, win, win.

Oh....and the new XR1200 Harley (which America is not getting and is bullshit b/c I'd seriously consider buying it).....there are Buell parts in that engine!

Exactly. The simplicity of the Buell is part of what attracted me to it... I am a mere mortal and do not require a machine so sophisticated and beyond my skill level.
Sorta... many of the parts are similar and based upon Buell tech, but they aren't necessarily straight from Buell.
