Harley Davidsons 115th anniversary-Repopping the bike

[Krakatoa]

There's a point to which mining your history is a good call but only if you can do it well.

I'll take the road less traveled.

Wouldn't that be cool if HD takes the Cabe's advise on how to make their bike cooler! Ha! It will be interesting to see what they come up with and how it effects the bike hobby, if any. Alot of the repop Phantoms and Columbias are being passed off as originals now some 20 yrs later. No mistaking the proposed HD as a repop, but other parts on it, like the sprocket could pass as an original.

My take is if they are going to reproduce it (and its going to cost $4200) then reproduce the motorbike version with the tank and do it right...down to the single tube tires, correct crank, pedals, stem, badge, etc... Otherwise its just some fantasy piece of crap in my book. V/r Shawn

not seeing $4200.00 there. if this was just a regular bike, with a regular chain ring and no HD reference it would be 5 - $700.00 assuming the wheels and parts are of high quality.

Looks like a loser.

Should make a GOOD replica of this model

Like Dan said,,, this one would be my choice as well.

Now, my favorite one currently is the Italijet Ascot e- bike. Custom built & expensive,,,, but well built. Roger

It’s being built by heritage bikes in Chicago, which is a coffee shop that moonlights as a bike shop that sells over priced Chinese quality crap that’s just assembled in the USA. It’s not a quality shop, and this won’t be a quality bike

Not that there is anything wrong with Chinese goods ... you know
I loves the food.

But a bicycle that is made to honor a relic having model-years
1917 thru 1921, and made in America -- really need not look Chin-
ese. This newest H-D looks like a Chinese interpretation of a
Chinese bicycle from 1917-1921.

You know that 1937, or so, replica (?) from Wally ?

That's a Chinese-birthed machine, right ? To my eyes it has a bunch
of cosmetic slight-of-hand going on. To me, it just does not look 100%
China-Built.

Now, am not sayin' the H-D actually is Chinese ... but look at it ....
if that .aint Chinese ...... Aretha Franklin can't sing.
