I would ride a Sporty like that..... I like the modern sleek look, but it needs to keep a vintage theme... like spoked rims!!! I really doubt Harley will go this route.. Shoot they don't even have an Aluminum frame for the Sportster..

Wait were talking about the same HD right? The company that is currently behind the technological curve by about 30 years. The only thing HD might incorporate in 2020 is the bar end mirrors. Everything else is wishful thinking. In 2020 sh!t will look pretty much the same. Look back 10 years to 2000 or 2001 models...change much, nah! If the year was changed to 2050 I might buy it a little bit more.

Haven't run across too many people that can accurately predict the future. Probably the closest is Warren Buffet, and he's made a bundle. Prince was going to party like it was 1999. The Mayan calendar ends in 2012. As long as the sun rises tomorrow, I'm good.
