The Big Bus (1976)
Does Harley Davidson have a secret V-Four in the works?
project NOVA in 1976, HD made a V4 and it flopped!
Harley Davidson says “older riders cannot be considered a continuing market”
HD wants to “reach out to younger and diverse riders”
That’s why they are building a V4
So, The bottom line is you older riders that own the traditional air cooled BIG Twins are being thrown under the bus by HD!
what do you guys think of that?
My Source: Cycle World, May 2009
I personally haven’t heard of HD trying for a V4, but I do know that they are dropping a lot of bikes for 2010. (FXDL, XL883C, FLTR, etc.) They are also trying to appeal to the women riders more than the young crowd. Their whole train of thought is that if Mom will ride a motorcycle, she will be more likely to encourage her kids to do the same.
Harley is also trying to get more towards liquid cooled motors like the V-Rod. My thinking is that in the next several years, all new Harleys will be liquid cooled instead of air cooled.
