Here's some of the 2014 Press Release info:

**Banditbandit** · 22nd August 2013, 14:03

Because ??? .. you thought Harley Diddleson might like the publicity ???

**Big Dave** · 22nd August 2013, 14:20

To annoy haters.

**Hitcher** · 22nd August 2013, 20:23

ABS. Do Harleys have brakes?

And they've stopped making the only models that would ever tempt me to an H-D: the V-Rod and the XR.

As for the bluetooth boombox entertainment system with a colour screen and touch-activated panel: is the bluetooth so it can play through the rider's hearing aids?

I thought Harley was supposed to be chasing a "younger" market. Maybe that's now the 60-65 year-olds?

Yeah - I don't care about the sound systems either. But i do like that Road King Classic in Richie Benaud Beige. A LOT.

And they (Tourers) have had Brembo brakes for several model years now. Two fingers.

The touring bikes are some of the most expensive on the market. They aren't aiming at yoof.

The younger set are targeted with the Sportser and Dyna range.

Generally not a fan of their bigger bikes. I love the sporties though.

Having said that, I might not say no to a Fat Bob or a Breakout.

I like that street glide.

Mrs unstuck likes the look of the tri glide.

Narrator sounds a little ghey though.

The yanks reckon he sounds like Russell Crowe.

Tri Glide is cool. The do give a very 'harsh' ride on the back seat if that's where she means. Cause they don't lean into the corner the pillion gets a lot of G-forces. Fun but tiring.
Up front they are real good fun.

"Ultra Limited"?

Does this mean that they make even fewer of that model, to make them more collectible?

I like the Street Bob, that's actually my favourite style Harley, I'd consider buying one but I'm just too big for it. Gorilla humping football.

The blacked out Street Bob is pretty nice looking too.

Road King is next favourite.

I really like the look of the '72 too too too too, but I'd need one for each (Gump voice) Butt-tock.

My next HD will be either a wide-glide or Street bob!! To all HD haters out there, try riding one before you knock them....that is all...

Now just wait a cotton pickin minute, knocking them is not the same as hating them. I will knock them forever, but I certainly dont hate them. I would be getting one tomorrow if I could, without robbing a train. But I am still gonna take the piss outta them and the tassle wearing freaks who ride em. No need to go getting all angry and shit, here have a puff on this......
