I wonder how much of the production costs were covered by Harley-Davidson?

more like fireball.....if you some dirt in a corner and dump it, you'll be covered in gas

[sfedqw]

this is more of an american and harley davidson motorcycle documentary, then a "motorcycle" documentary

[luisronaldofigo]

@sfedqw yup hugely disappointed

[violinistslythie7]

sigh. What I wouldn't do for an Indian Scout :(

@UserNamei5 I was referring to north america. And those german bikes were not economical and practical like the later Harley Davidson and indian motorcycles, air Simply put, they were the rich mans toy of that day and era. And the company is no longer. Great in terms of innovation. But practical? Ask mr. Soichiro Honda what practical is.

The Britten Motorcycle can be seen in TePapa Museum, Wellington New Zealand. Well worth seeing.

too bad buell isnt going to make it through this recession.

[mickeymoose76]

they make the same bikes now!! slow, noisy V-Twins and similar looks...

[xenophobephoto]

They look the same, but they are not the same. I am no Harley fan but I am glad they turned it all around.

The bike is about a preference and style.

My Moto Guzzi V11 Sport,a nd any Harley, could be beat by most Jap bikes in a straight line, but, do I want one? Do I care? No. Chocolate or Vanilla; Which is better??? There is no answer.

Might have known that Harleys would be the main talking point of this show !! In the USA motorcycle = Harley it seems !!

thanks for uploading!

[b1gdawg0434]

That is bc there are more to motorcycles than just racing you dumb prick....ALSO, you must agree that if it were NOT for the HARLEY FUCKING DAVIDSON your shitbag riceburner would not have even been MADE!!!....This was a documentary showing the ORIGIN of the "motorcycle"..In relation to that particular subject HARLEY DAVIDSON is ultimately the foundation of ALLLLLL motorcycles!!!....Consider yourself schooled

[johnthekeane]

Well,not really.

[EpiDemic117]

@b1gdawg0434 "HARLEY DAVIDSON is ultimately the foundation of ALLLLLL motorcycles!!!" If you didn't watch carefully enough. INDIAN was the actual founder with the first production ready motorcycle.

[frewcc]

why the fuck are they wasting their time talking about buells and harleys? modern bikes are epitomized by the gsxrs, zx, cbrs, etc. buell and harley isnt even in the sport racing scene, they are antiquated pieces of garbage. who wants a 70 horsepower buell with a harley engine when you can get a 200 horsepower zx-10r that weighs less, gets better gas mileage, can hit the corners and is the leading the way in technology and innovation? oh and it costs less too!

[auto4union]

You are so right mate ! If a show about bikes is American you can be sure that HD will be the main focus ! The history was well off on a few things as well ! Worth watching I suppose , but lacking in real in depth info` ! Peace Ye`all !!
